Niccolo Machiavelli strana 3 z 4

At the end of an industrious political career in conflict-riven Italy, the Florentine diplomat Niccolo Machiavelli composed his masterpiece The Prince, a classic study of power and politics, and a manual of ruthlessness for any ambitious ruler. Controversial in his own time, The Prince made Machiavelli's name a byword for manipulative scheming, and had an impact on such major figures as Napoleon and Frederick the Great. It contains principles as true today as when they were first written almost five centuries ago.

"Hogyan szerezhető, majd tartható meg a másokon való uralkodásra feljogosító hatalom? Alárendelhetők-e az erkölcs diktálta elvek a cél elérésének? Ezek a napjainkban is időszerű, feszültséget és vitákat kiváltó kérdések állnak a 16. századi olasz író, filozófus és politikus legismertebb és egyben legvitatottabb munkájának, A fejedelemnek a középpontjában. Az uralkodási típusoknak és a fejedelemségek hatékony irányítási lehetőségeinek számbavételéből kiderül, hogyan kormányozhatók azok a városok vagy országok, amelyeknek lakói valaha a maguk szabta törvények szerint éltek, és miként történhetett meg, hogy a Dareiosz birodalmát elfoglaló Nagy Sándor örökösei ellen nem lázadt fel a nép a hódító hadvezér halálát követően. Machiavelli emellett arról is szól, melyek az eszményi uralkodó, az ideális fejedelem ismérvei. Niccoló Machiavelli korának egyik legnagyobb hatással bíró gondolkodója, egyben a modern politikai és társadalomfilozófia megalapítója. Csaknem 500 esztendővel ezelőtt alkotta meg a politika művészetének és tudományának megkerülhetetlen alapművét, amely a mai olvasót is állásfoglalásra készteti. A Helikon zsebkönyvek az egyetemes művelődéstörténet legfontosabb és legnépszerűbb műveit teszi elérhetővé kedvező áron. A szépirodalmi címek mellett olyan könyvek jelennek meg a sorozatban, amelyek a történelem, a filozófia, a bölcselet, a pszichológia klasszikusainak számítanak." (a Kiadó)

Drawing on examples from the ancient Greeks and Romans and from Machiavelli's contemporaries, The Prince offers - some believed with satirical intent - advice on how a ruler should preserve his power, conduct and warfare, and maintain his reputation. Machiavelli not only influenced many of the great statesmen of his age, but was also one of the founding fathers of modern political thought. The Prince, written in 1513 and published in 1532, is one of the most famous pieces of writing of all time.

Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to an understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is one of the most sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval ever written. In an age of increasing political absolutism, Machiavelli's theories became a dangerous ideology. This new translation is richly annotated, providing the contemporary reader with sufficient historical, linguistic, and political information to understand and interpret the revolutionary affirmations Machiavelli made, based on the historical evidence he found in Livy.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'We have declared before that it is not only expedient but necessary for a prince to take care his foundations be good, otherwise his fabric will be sure to fail.' Considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, Machiavelli's The Prince is an intense study on the nature of power and the course it should take when ruling a country and expresses the author's strong and unyielding ideals and beliefs on using force rather than law to achieve your aims. Responsible for the widely-used phrase 'Machiavellian', with all of its negative connotations, his extreme treatise remains a classic text to this day.

Niccolo Machiavelli's brutally uncompromising manual of statecraft, The Prince is translated and edited with an introduction by Tim Parks in Penguin Classics. As a diplomat in turbulent fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolo Machiavelli knew how quickly political fortunes could rise and fall. The Prince, his tough-minded, pragmatic handbook on how power really works, made his name notorious and has remained controversial ever since. How can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in his followers? When is it necessary to break the rules? Is it better to be feared than loved? Examining regimes and their rulers the world over and throughout history, from Roman Emperors to renaissance Popes, from Hannibal to Cesare di Borgia, Machievalli answers all these questions in a work of realpolitik that still has shrewd political lessons for today. Tim Parks' acclaimed contemporary translation renders Machiavelli's no-nonsense original as alarming and enlightening as when it was first written. His introduction discusses Machiavelli's life and reputation, and explores the historical background to the work. Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was born in Florence, and served the Florentine republic as a secretary and second chancellor, as ambassador and foreign policy-maker. When the Medici family returned to power in 1512 he was suspected of conspiracy, imprisoned and tortured and forced to retire from public life. His most famous work, The Prince, was written in an attempt to gain favour with the Medicis and return to politics. If you enjoyed The Prince, you might like Plato's Republic, also available in Penguin Classics. "A gripping work, and a gripping translation". (Nicholas Lezard, Guardian). "Tim Parks' swift and supple new translation brings out all its chilling modernity." (Boyd Tonkin, Independent).
