Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

When Lorenzo de' Medici seized control of the Florentine Republic in 1512, he summarily fired the Secretary to the Second Chancery of the Signoria and set in motion a fundamental change in the way we think about politics. The person who held the aforementioned office with the tongue-twisting title was none other than Niccolò Machiavelli, who, suddenly finding himself out of a job after 14 years of patriotic service, followed the career trajectory of many modern politicians into punditry. Unable to become an on-air political analyst for a television network, he only wrote a book. But what a book The Prince is. Its essential contribution to modern political thought lies in Machiavelli's assertion of the then revolutionary idea that theological and moral imperatives have no place in the political arena. "It must be understood," Machiavelli avers, "that a prince ... cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state." With just a little imagination, readers can discern parallels between a 16th-century principality and a 20th-century presidency. --Tim Hogan

Pressestimmen

“[Machiavelli] can still engage our attention with remarkable immediacy, and this cannot be explained solely by the appeal of his ironic observations on human behaviour. Perhaps the most important thing is the way he can compel us to reflect on our own priorities and the reasoning behind them; it is this intrusion into our own defenses that makes reading him an intriguing experience. As a scientific exponent of the political art Machiavelli may have had few followers; it is as a provocative rhetorician that he has had his real impact on history.” –from the Introduction by Dominic Baker-Smith

Machiavelli is the captain of Realism. He describes an era where you had to be practical to survive, especially if you are a Prince in Europe. He doesn't deserve the labels, that people gave him in recent centuries. His 'ends justify the means' motto isn't there as a way of living, as a philosofy. He just wanted the Princes of his time to be aware of dangers. I enjoyed this book tremendously because it was not what everyone told me before.

Machiavelli is here at his best: terse, poignant, and profound. His insights into politics and his practical advice apply not just to autocratic princes of Italian city states, but to anyone who has authority and wants to maintain it, as well as to all those who want to gain authority. True, the book is an excellent attempt to describe politics, which is pervasive in the world, the way it is, and not the way that sanctimonious characters want it to be, but at the same time it raises one of the most difficult and even painful questions that a thinking being can confront: What does it mean to be moral in a world where cunning, cruelty, and underhanded methods of all kinds are sometimes the most effective, if not the only, way to achieve what you so passionately want? The Prince is a superb confrontation with reality, revealing, perhaps inadvertantly, the courage of human intellect.

Machiavelli is a sick and depraved human being without the slightest sense of morals and what is right. However, although i don't agree with what The Prince was saying, and i think that it is not "better to be feared than to be loved", The Prince was a good read and held my interest. Was it the depravity that drew me toward it? or perhaps the clear evil that Machiavelli obviously inherently possesses? Whatever the answer is, i know that "the end" CERTAINLY DOES NOT "justify the means" as this lunatic would have us believe. Anyone who actually agrees with what the Prince is saying clearly doesn't understand what America stands for and is lacking in ANY moral standards.
