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).

以下是我读《君主论》时的书摘,摘到一半时,我突然发现,如果把文中的部分词汇改一下,这本《君主论》就可以变成一本可以指导男人追女人,解决一些困难的情感事务的《男人论》。 不过,当你开始阅读下面的文章前,最好心里有一个清楚的认识,就是“不择手段”是有前提...
评分还没读完,就急不可待的想写一点感想。原谅我的随意。 也许是翻译的缘故,我觉得马基亚维利从头到尾似乎都是一个很矛盾的人,不敢肯定什么,同时也不敢轻易否定。 我欣赏他对王权的理解,他觉得政府如果作为一个维持统治的目的而存在,是可以利用一切所能考虑的...
评分学术与政治之间 从马基雅维里关于《君主论》的两封信说起 李华芳 学术和政治之间的关系是一个不简单的话题。有韦伯的名篇演讲和徐复观的名著在前,似乎没有多大讨论的必要。只是讨论马基雅维里在学术与政治之间的纠葛有点像金庸小说中的《广陵散》成绝响、曲洋却从东汉蔡邑墓...
评分我之前转发潘汉典先生悼文时随口提到商务印书馆出版的潘译本【君主论】因编辑与校对的失责存在不少错误,很多朋友嘱我将错误具体列出来。可惜我不住在中国,短期内很难拿到实体本,而原来友人送的自存本早已在迁居时遗失。目前我可以找到的版本,是网络流传的PDF,既无从得知是...

评分第一位政治科学家。
评分真理没有道德属性。当一个人站在一个万人之上的高度,我们就不能用常人的标准去要求他衡量他评判他。这其实是一个历史观的问题吧。。TELL THE TRUTH,AND LET OTHERS JUDGE。
评分狭义上的“政治学”(权术政治,Practical Politics)一定是专制、独裁以及精英性质的,但不一定是“专家治国”——你包背书不是要扫除自己的土气(事实上也不需要),而是要用“专家”掩盖“精英”。事实上用“能力”混淆“身份”这套小琳女士早就用过啦,毕竟“流着道德血液能力之外的资本等于零”
