The Prince

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).

读后感

按常见的说法，《君主论》是现代政治科学的起源，其核心标志是它在思考政治问题时脱离了伦理学的考虑，进行一种中立的技术分析。也有人认为《君主论》是一本授恶之书，它为了实现民族解放这一似乎带有正面价值的目标而选择不择手段，从而，它为了拯救自己的祖国而放弃了拯救自...  

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...  

政治哲学是历史的发明，同时也在发明历史，其所关注的乃是如何规范政治来规范历史。因此讨论某种政治哲人理念的时候，总是绕不开对观念谱系的梳理，马基雅维利亦是如此。对一个人的经典化往往是历史积累而来，今日我们耳熟能详的话语在彼时却有开天辟地的意义，不还原历史自然...

君主论真是很好玩的一本小书啊——只要翻译够好。我觉得这个英文版的翻译相当的不错。虽然有些地方和手头台湾商务印书馆中文版不太一样，不过反正我也看不懂意大利文，就不说谁更忠实原文了；差的也不太多，也不是做学术就不管了。
