Niccolo Machiavelli

Discorsi og Om fyrster er Niccolo Machiavellis (1469-1527) hovedverk. Bøkene ble skrevet mellom 1512 og 1517, men utgitt hver for seg i 1532. Få tekster hatt en større og mer direkte virkning på de euroatlantiske kontinenters historie enn nettopp disse to verkene. Her grunnlegger Niccolò Machiavelli moderne republikanisme og samfunns.vitenskap og legger på mange måter de teoretiske forutsetninger for dagens demokratiske styringssystemer. Trolig har heller intet verk, bortsett fra Bibelen, vært så omstridt og skapt slik debatt som Discorsi og Om fyrster. Som oftest har de blitt utgitt hver for seg, noe som har skapt og fortsatt skaper mange misforståelser. Med denne utgaven foreligger Discorsi og Om fyrster samlet i ny og bearbeidet over.settelse. Et omfattende noteapparat presenterer for første gang Niccolò Machiavellis antikke kilder. De viser en levende kulturarv hvis innflytelse på nyere historie er slående. Noteverket blir dermed også en kilde for leseren til kunnskap om de rike forutsetningene for samfunnsbygging antikken skapte, samtidig som det forklarer Machiavellis mange referanser til personer og begivenheter i renessansens Italia og Europa.

"THOSE princes and those republics which desire to remain free from corruption, should above all else maintain incorrupt the ceremonies of their religion. They should always hold them in veneration; for there can be no surer indication of the decline of a country than to see divine worship neglected." Niccolo Machiavelli JUST WHAT should a young man or woman know in order to be"In the Know"? Is there, in other words, some inside information, some special taboo, some real lowdown on life and existence that most parents and teachers either don't know or won't tell? In Japan it was once customary to give young people about to be married a "Pillow Book." This was a small volume of wood-block prints, often colored, showing all the details of sexual intercourse. It wasn't just that, as the Chinese say, "one picture is worth ten thousand words." It was also that it spared parents the embarrassment of explaining these intimate matters face-to-face. Today, you can get such information at any newsstand. Sex is no longer a serious taboo. Teenagers sometimes know more about it than adults. But if sex is no longer the big taboo, what is? For there is always something taboo, something repressed, un-admitted, or just glimpsed quickly out of the corner of one's eye because a direct look is too unsettling. In some circles there is a strong taboo on Religion, even in circles where people go to church or read the Bible. Here, religion is one's own private business. It is bad form or uncool to talk or argue about it, and very bad indeed to make a big show of piety. Yet when you get in on the inside of almost any standard-brand religion, you wonder what on earth the hush was about. In "On Religion no less than Niccol Machiavelli, the author of The Prince himself, who takes you by the hand and gives you some real lowdown on what religion is all about. It is kind of all you wanted to know about Religion but was afraid to ask

The Prince (Italian: Il Principe) is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat, historian, and political theorist Niccol Machiavelli. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. This treatise is the most remembered of Niccol Machiavelli's writings and also the work most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. Moreover, such has been its influence that it also helped in the transformation of the English term "Old Nick" as a substitute for "devil," and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries.

Krigskunst regnes som innledningen til det moderne militærstrategiske bibliotek. Boken ble en suksess allerede ved utgivelsen i 1522 og har siden den gang vært fast inventar i alle stabsbibliotek og fast på alle pensa ved krigsskoler og militærakademi. Boken er blitt lest av militære ledere, politikere, filosofer og interesserte legmenn i Europa i vel 500 år. Krigskunst er stadig aktuell, ikke minst ved sine betraktninger om forholdet mellom forsvar, stat og samfunn. Niccolò Machiavelli griper rett inn i de vestlige demokratiers diskusjoner om militærmaktens formål, funksjon og organisering. I Krigskunst får vi den første presentasjon av hvorfor verneplikten må være grunnlaget for demokratiers væpnede styrker. Stat og samfunn får de ordninger som organiseringen av våpenmakten gjør mulig - og omvendt. Et forsvar som baserer seg på statsborgere med omfattende poli-tiske rettigheter, blir ifølge Machiavelli et samfunn med gode ordninger og en dugelig stat. Med denne oversettelsen foreligger Krigskunst for første gang på norsk.

Il Principe (titolo originale in lingua latina: De Principatibus, lett. " Sui Principati") un trattato di dottrina politica scritto da Niccol Machiavelli nel 1513, nel quale espone le caratteristiche dei principati e dei metodi per mantenerli e conquistarli. Si tratta senza dubbio della sua opera pi nota e celebrata, quella dalle cui massime (spesso superficialmente interpretate) sono nati il sostantivo "machiavellismo" e l'aggettivo "machiavellico". L'opera non ascrivibile ad alcun genere letterario particolare, in quanto non ha le caratteristiche di un vero e proprio trattato; se ne ipotizzata la natura di libriccino a carattere divulgativo. Il Principe si compone di una dedica e ventisei capitoli di varia lunghezza; l'ultimo capitolo consiste nell'appello ai de' Medici ad accettare le tesi espresse nel testo.
