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).

我前日写了一篇文章(https://www.douban.com/note/741354078/),简单地对比了刘训练翻译的【君主论】与潘汉典翻译的【君主论】字句的相似处。提出了【刘训练译本是完全以潘译本为底本,参照英文版译本修改字句的潘译本“加工本”,刘训练不应该单独署译者名】这一观点。拙文...
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...
评分首先,让我们先确立一个方向:这本书是谁写给谁看的。 这本书是一个知识分子在观察历史与意大利诸侯割据的现状下“以平原的目光来观察山峰”的角度写给身居高位的君主看的。 明确了这个方向,就要确定一些范围 时代范围——处于什么样的一个历史时期,作者...

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves and each other. They have inspire d debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
文本内在的极大张力,多方面不同层次的意涵造就了这部经典——就好像《资本论》之于经济学,《君主论》一方面,没有完全摆脱主体,去研究客观的系统;但反过来说,马基雅维利研究的本来也不是政治科学(正如马克思要做的是在整体上把握资本主义,而非“经济”)。所以读这类著作的方法也不应该是消解分析式的,即将其中论断归纳到政治伦理等分科之学中去,再去判断其于该“科”学的意义;而是综合地用一种同情去理解——就好像读一部小说——去把握其中整体的“形象”。
评分君主至高无上!
评分If you want to understand the minds of the Chinese strategists, read Sun Tzu; If you want to understand the minds of their western counterparts, read this book.
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。
