Zustand: Gut. XIV, 314 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - PREFACE -- THIS BOOK is about how Machiavelli was read in the Renaissance, what Machiavelli came to symbolize in Renaissance culture, and why. I argue that Machiavelli offered Renaissance writers a rhetoric for thinking about politics, and that once we recover the ways Machiavelli was read, we gain a deeper understanding of how Renaissance thinkers conceptualized and responded to contemporary crises of political and religious authority. Machiavelli was reviled, approved, misrepresented, and appropriated precisely because his work spoke to many of the central concerns of the age: the legitimacy of de facto political power, the role of persuasion in acquiring and maintaining that power, the relationship of force to ethics, and of dispassionate political analysis to criticism of the status quo. In a justly famous book, J.G.A. Pocock defined the Machiavellian moment of early modern political thought as the moment when the secular political agent confronts the difficulties of acting in time and the republic confronts its own temporal finitude ( MM, viii ) . I contend that the Machiavellian moment of Renaissance culture is a rhetorical moment rather than a moment of specifically secular self-consciousness, and that this insight has implications for the way we think about Renaissance political thought and culture in general. In particular, it requires us to revise many of the usual assumptions regarding the incompatibility of humanist rhetoric and serious political analysis, the secularism of Renaissance republicanism, and the irrelevance of the Machiavel to the history of Renaissance political and religious thought.
