Niccolò Machiavelli (born May 3, 1469, Florence-died June 21, 1527, Florence) Italian statesman, historian, and political theorist. He rose to power after the overthrow of Girolamo Savonarola, was appointed secretary and Second Chancellor to the Florentine Republic in 1498. Working as a diplomat for 14 years, he came in contact with the most powerful figures in Europe. He was dismissed when the Medici family returned to power in 1512, and during the next year he was arrested and tortured for conspiracy. Though soon released, he was not permitted to return to public office. His famous treatise The Prince (1513, published 1532) is a handbook for rulers; though dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici, ruler of Florence from 1513, it failed to win Machiavelli his favour. Machiavelli viewed The Prince as an objective description of political reality. Because he viewed human nature as venal, grasping, and thoroughly self-serving, he suggested that ruthless cunning is appropriate to the conduct of government. Though admired for its incisive brilliance, the book also has been widely condemned as cynical and amoral, and “Machiavellian” has come to mean deceitful, unscrupulous, and manipulative. His other works include a set of discourses on Livy (completed c. 1518), the comedy The Mandrake (completed c. 1518), The Art of War (published 1521), and the Florentine Histories (completed c. 1525).

首先,讓我們先確立一個方嚮:這本書是誰寫給誰看的。 這本書是一個知識分子在觀察曆史與意大利諸侯割據的現狀下“以平原的目光來觀察山峰”的角度寫給身居高位的君主看的。 明確瞭這個方嚮,就要確定一些範圍 時代範圍——處於什麼樣的一個曆史時期,作者...
評分如果單獨的看《君主論》,我覺得這本書並不特彆。但是如果把《君主論》與唐太宗李世民寫的《帝範》一起來看的話,就有點意思瞭。 由於中國自古以來大部分的時間都是一個統一的國傢,所以一個皇帝最重要的任務就是維持國傢的繁榮穩定,所以《帝範》講的都是關於國傢的治理。 ...
評分我之前轉發潘漢典先生悼文時隨口提到商務印書館齣版的潘譯本【君主論】因編輯與校對的失責存在不少錯誤,很多朋友囑我將錯誤具體列齣來。可惜我不住在中國,短期內很難拿到實體本,而原來友人送的自存本早已在遷居時遺失。目前我可以找到的版本,是網絡流傳的PDF,既無從得知是...

評分我前日寫瞭一篇文章([https://www.douban.com/note/741354078/]),簡單地對比瞭劉訓練翻譯的【君主論】與潘漢典翻譯的【君主論】字句的相似處。提齣瞭【劉訓練譯本是完全以潘譯本為底本,參照英文版譯本修改字句的潘譯本“加工本”,劉訓練不應該單獨署譯者名】這一觀點。拙...
