Zustand: as new. Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2014. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xv,208 pp. Index. - In Redeeming 'The Prince', one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars puts forth a startling new interpretation of arguably the most influential but widely misunderstood book in the Western political tradition. Overturning popular misconceptions and challenging scholarly consensus, Maurizio Viroli also provides a fresh introduction to the work. Seen from this original perspective, five centuries after its composition, The Prince offers new insights into the nature and possibilities of political liberation. Rather than a bible of unscrupulous politics, The Prince, Viroli argues, is actually about political redemptiona book motivated by Machiavelli's patriotic desire to see a new founding for Italy. Written in the form of an oration, following the rules of classical rhetoric, the book condenses its main message in the final section, 'Exhortation to liberate Italy from the Barbarians'. There Machiavelli creates the myth of a redeemer, an ideal ruler who ushers in an era of peace, freedom, and unity. Contrary to scholars who maintain that the exhortation was added later, Viroli proves that Machiavelli composed it along with the rest of the text, completing the whole by December 1513 or early 1514. Only if we read The Prince as a theory of political redemption, Viroli contends, can we at last understand, and properly evaluate, the book's most controversial pages on political morality, as well as put to rest the cliché of Machiavelli as a 'Machiavellian'. Bold, clear, and provocative, Redeeming 'The Prince' should permanently change how Machiavelli and his masterpiece are understood. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780691151014. Keywords : PHILOSOPHY, Machiavelli, Niccolo (1469-1527).

Zustand: Sehr gut. XVII, 261 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - This is a colorful, comprehensive, and authoritative introduction to the life and work of the author of The PrinceFlorentine statesman, writer, and political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). Corrado Vivanti, who was one of the worlds leading Machiavelli scholars, provides an unparalleled intellectual biography that demonstrates the close connections between Machiavelli s thought and his changing fortunes during the tumultuous Florentine republic and his subsequent exile. Vivantis concise account covers not only Machiavellis most famous worksThe Prince, The Discourses, The Florentine Histories, and The Art of Warbut also his letters, poetry, and comic dramas. While setting Machiavelli s life against a dramatic backdrop of war, crisis, and diplomatic intrigue, the book also paints a vivid human portrait of the man. Vivantis narrative breaks Machiavellis life into three parts: his career in a variety of government and diplomatic posts in the Florentine republic between 1494 and 1512, when the Medici returned from exile, seized power, and removed Machiavelli from office; the pivotal first part of his subsequent exile, when he formulated his most influential ideas and wrote The Prince-, and the final decade of his life, when, having returned to Florence, he wrote The Art of War, The Florentine Histories, the satirical play The Mandrake, and other works. Along the way, the biography presents unmatched accounts of many intensely debated topics, including the precise nature of Machiavellis cultural and intellectual background, his republicanism, his political and personal relationship to the Medici, and his ideas about religion. - Corrado Vivanti (1928-2012) was an emeritus professor of history, having taught at the universities of Rome, Turin, and Perugia. He was the editor of the standard edition of the complete works of Machiavelli. ISBN 9780691151014 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 472 Original half cloth with dust jacket.
