"Gosudar" - samoe izvestnoe i znachitelnoe proizvedenie Nikkolo Makiavelli. V nem rasskazyvaetsja o sposobakh zakhvata vlasti, metodakh upravlenija gosudarstvom i o kharakteristikakh pravitelja, neobkhodimykh dlja gramotnogo upravlenija i uderzhanija vlasti. Makiavelli dopuskal ljubye sredstva v borbe za uprochenie vlasti: obman, kovarstvo, predatelstvo, nasilie - poetomu ego trud poluchil vesma neodnoznachnuju otsenku sovremennikov i potomkov, a katolicheskaja tserkov vnesla eto sochinenie v spisok zapreschjonnykh knig. Pomimo traktata "Gosudar" v sbornike predstavleny vazhnejshie politicheskie trudy florentijskogo myslitelja, v kotorykh poluchili razvitie ego samye smelye idei.

With "The Prince", Machiavelli made his name synonymous with intrigue and cunning for all time. His instructions to the Prince, on achieving and maintaining power, by any and all means available, became the archetypical philosophy of 'The Ends Justify The Means'. Machiavelli advocated that political expediency supersedes morality and that success, by any means, is its own justification. His cold, calculating logic sweeps aside and dismisses all arguments against the use of every manner of deceit and dishonesty for a ruler to achieve his ends on the basis that those ends, once achieved, are, in themselves, sufficient justification. Not only does Machiavelli make philosophical arguments for his viewpoint, he gives numerous practical examples of behavior, which are generally considered to be both ruthless and invariably successful. For nearly 500 years, politicians of all stripes have found that in ignoring Machiavelli's views they become easy prey to those who are willing to employ Machiavellian methods. Machiavelli is considered by many to be the Father of Modern Political Theory. His influence has been immense and his writings, particularly "The Prince", will undoubtedly continue to influence many generations to come.

Best known as the political theorist who wrote The Prince, Machiavelli considered The Art of War his most important work. His revolutionary 1520 work clearly states and discusses military organization and strategy: handling recruitment and weapons, motivating troops, demoralizing enemies, and achieving tactical and strategic advantages.

Niccolo Machiavelli's Art of War is one of the world's great classics of military and political theory. Praised by the finest military minds in history and said to have influenced no lesser lights than Frederick the Great and Napoleon, Art of War is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the history and theory of war in the West. Christopher Lynch's fluid translation, faithful to the original but rendered in modern, idomatic English, helps readers appreciate anew Machiavelli's brilliant and often eerily prescient treatments of the relationships between war and politics, civilians and the military, and technology and tactics. Clearly laying out the fundamentals of military organization and strategy, Machiavelli marshals a veritable army of precepts, prescriptions, and examples about such topics as how to motivate soldiers and demoralize the enemy, how to avoid ambushes, and how to gain the tactical and strategic advantage in countless circumstances. To help readers better appreciate Art of War, Lynch provides an insightful introduction and a substantial interpretive essay discussing the military, political, and philosophical aspects of the work, in addition to maps, an index of names, and a glossary. Combining an abundance of relevant scholarship with the most flawless translation to date, this volume will surely be the standard for years to come.

"Så kom det endelig. Machiavellis hovedværk, som desværre nok må siges at være forholdsvis ukendt i dansk sammenhæng. De fleste forbinder i realiteten florentineren Niccolò di Bernardo Machiavelli (1469–1527) med et helt andet klassisk værk, nemlig Fyrsten, men ret beset er det det foreliggende værk, som er hans reelle politiske testamente". Claus E. Andersen i Militært Tidsskrift, nr. 3, september 2005. ”Drøftelser er… et hovedværk i de politiske ideers historie, som fortjener fornyet opmærksomhed og granskning… Fritz Wolders fine oversættelse giver nu de fleste muligheden for denne fornyede opmærksomhed og granskning, hvorfor vi må være ham yderst taknemmelige. Han har desuden udstyret sin oversættelse med en forbemærkning, der veloplagt sætter Drøftelser på plads i forhold til Machiavellis øvrige forfatterskab og historisk-biografiske kontekst... Helt uden forbehold må det anbefales, at man straks - hvis de politiske ideers historie og aktualitet overhovedet interesserer én - gakker ud i den nærmeste bogcafé og køber sig et eksemplar. Gør klar til granskning!” Paw Hedegaard Amdisen i Semikolon, nr. 10, 2005. Interesseret i at vide mere? Så prøv AI (kunstig intelligens).

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.

The intimate world of Niccolò Machiavelli comes to life in this first complete collection in English of the letters he wrote and received. Spanning his adult life from 1497 until his death in 1527, these letters to and from his friends and compatriots-some of whom, such as Francesco Guicciardini and Francesco Vettori, were among the most influential thinkers of the day-reveal his personality and present a panorama of life, people, and critical events in Renaissance Italy. The correspondence offers valuable insight into the origins of Machiavelli's ideas on history, politics, literature, and society and the social context from which his achievements arose. Often his correspondence served as a testing ground for ideas he developed more fully in his writing. While the letters taken together show Machiavelli both living within and transcending his own time, on a more intimate level they reveal the human element that helped to shaped his thought. Machiavelli emerges as an individual with multifaceted capabilities and a multitude of roles, among them devoted humanist, political analyst, shrewd rhetorician, and practical joker. Based on Franco Gaets's authoritative critical Italian edition of Machiavelli's correspondence, the collection includes 257 letters written to Machiavelli and 84 letters written by him. Arranged chronologically, correspondence to and by Machiavelli is interwoven so that readers may easily follow discussions between him and his associates. The translators' introduction establishes the political and cultural context of the correspondence, and headnotes introduce each section of letters. Explanatory and historical annotations illuminate people, places, and events mentioned within the letters. Machiavelli's correspondence opens a window onto an important era in Western intellectual history, disclosing the language, thoughts, and preoccupations of some of the key people who shaped the Italian Renaissance. As the definitive edition, Machiavelli and His Friends will interest students of Machiavelli, specialists in political science and Renaissance literature and history, and general readers desiring to know more intimately one of the most fascinating personalities of the Renaissance.

Written in 1513 and published in 1532, after Machivelli's death, &&LI&&RThe Prince&&L/I&&R immediately provoked controversy that has continued unabated to this day. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RDefining human nature as inherently selfish, Machiavelli proposes that social conflict and violence are natural phenomena that help determine the ablest, most versatile form of government. Asserting that idealism has no place in the political arena, &&LI&&RThe Prince&&L/I&&R primarily addresses a monarch's difficulties in retaining authority. Considered the first expression of political realism, it has often been accused of advocating a political philosophy in which "the end justifies the means." Indeed the emphasis in &&LI&&RThe Prince&&L/I&&R on practical success, at the expense even of traditional moral values, earned Machiavelli a reputation for ruthlessness, deception, and cruelty. Many scholars contend, however, that the author's pragmatic views of ethics and politics reflected the realities of his time, as exemplified by the Medici family of Florence. &&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RDebates about Machiavelli's theories are as lively today as they were 450 years ago, but no one questions the importance of his fundamental contribution to Western political thought. This newly translated edition also includes Machiavelli's &&LI&&RLetter to Francesco Vettori&&L/I&&R, &&LI&&RThe Life of Castruccio Castracani&&L/I&&R, and excerpts from the &&LI&&RDiscourses on Livy&&L/I&&R.&&LBR&&R&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RWayne A.
