Machiavel est une énigme. Ce nom a traversé l'Histoire avec autant de fascination méfiante que de haine admirative. Né en 1469 à Florence où il meurt en 1527, Nicolas Machiavel sera tour à tour secrétaire de la république, diplomate, déchu par les Médicis, mis à l'écart de la vie publique, exilé, banni, loué, haï. Sa vie est un roman, son action politique méconnue, son oeuvre érigée comme l'un des plus importants chapitres de la philosophie politique, et sa postérité aussi sulfureuse qu'hétéroclite. En moins de quinze années, fort de son expérience, il rédigera parmi les plus influents livres d'histoire politique jamais écrits : Discours sur la première décade de Tite-Live (1513-1519), Histoires florentines, ce qu'il nommait des "balivernes" : la Mandragore... son oeuvre la plus célèbre ne fut pas publiée de son vivant : Le Prince (1532). Tous, de Frédéric le Grand à de Gaulle, en passant par Napoléon, l'ont lu. Ces deux derniers s'en sont d'ailleurs défendus. De lui, on a tout dit et l'on a peu conclu. Peut-être parce qu'il pose la question : que faire de la distance entre l'espoir et le réel ? Avec un remarquable talent de conteur et défaisant les stéréotypes, Roberto Ridolfi fait revivre Nicolas Machiavel. Sans jamais séparer la pensée de la vie, il dévoile l'humanité d'un homme en partie consumée par le travail du temps. Si l'empathie irrigue l'érudition, Ridolfi se montre implacablement attentif au mot juste - dans son entourage historique, littéraire et psychologique. Et c'est certainement du fait de cette double exigence que beaucoup considèrent cette biographie comme la meilleure jamais dédiée au grand Florentin. -- Quatrième de couverture

Between Friends offers the first extended close reading of the most famous epistolary dialogue of the Renaissance, the letters exchanged from 1513 to 1515 by Niccolo Machiavelli and Francesco Vettori. John Najemy reveals the literary richness and theoretical tensions of the correspondence, the crucial importance of the dialogue with Vettori in Machiavelli's emergence as a writer and political theorist, and the close but complex relationship between the letters and Machiavelli's major works on politics. Unlike previous and mostly fragmentary treatments of the correspondence, this book reads the letters as a continuously developing, collaborative text in which problems of language and interpretation gradually emerge as the critical issues.Najemy argues that Vettori's skeptical reaction to Machiavelli's first letters on politics and provoked Machiavelli into a defense of language's power to represent the world, a notion that soon become the underlying assumption of The Prince. Later, and largely through an apparently whimsical exchange of letters on love and the foibles of eros, Vettori led Machiavelli to confront the power of desire in language, which opened the way for a different, essentially poetic, approach to writing about politics that surfaces for the first time in the pages of the Discourses on Livy.John M. Najemy is Professor of History at Cornell University. He is the author of Corporatism and Consensus in Florentine Electoral Politics, 1280-1400 (North Carolina).Originally published in 1993.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

La guerre peut-elle être un objet de la philosophie ? Si la réalité guerrière obsède les philosophes, elle leur oppose néanmoins une résistance permanente. En parcourant les représentations de la guerre produites de Platon à Clausewitz, et en mettant à nu les stratégies constantes et les impensés qui les sous-tendent, on constate que le philosophe n'a cessé de manquer un enjeu guerrier qu'il ne peut toucher qu'en le neutralisant. Quelques figures à la fois persistantes et exclues de ces philosophies de la guerre - l'esclave, le pirate, le colonisé... -, de même que des pratiques philosophiques restées plus marginales - la pensée romaine, le matérialisme machiavélien, la déconstruction... -, permettent cependant de bousculer ce discours neutralisant et, ce faisant, de révéler une certaine compromission de la philosophie dans la guerre.

"The theme of conspiracies plays a key role in Machiavelli's writings, in which can be found considerations and analyses on the use of conspiracy as an instrument of conquest of power, and as a technique for political fighting. This volume denies an interpretation in which Machiavelli limited himself to warning against conspiracies, judging them as a dangerous and useless tool. In reality, he elaborated a real phenomenology or anatomy of the conspiracy. His thoughts on this theme represent a practical manual for the "coup d'état" and the violent seizure of power. But as always, they also contain brilliant intuitions on political psychology, the sociology of power, and social anthropology"--

Vittorio Morfino draws out the implications of the dynamic Spinoza-Machiavelli encounter by focusing on the concepts of causality, temporality and politics. This allows him to think through the relationship between ontology and politics, leading to an understanding of history as a complex and plural interweaving of different rhythms.

This Pivot updates the ideas of the famous political philosopher from the Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli, for the 21st century, using case studies from the West and from Kazakhstan to demonstrate the utility of Machiavelli's ideas for contemporary political life. In truth, Machiavelli's ideas have never lost their value. Although "Machiavellian" as an adjective tends to describe amoral cynicism in contemporary usage, Machiavelli's ideas were deeply ethical and oriented towards achieving long-term goals. Contemporary readers may be put off by medieval language and examples, misled into believing Machiavelli speaks to a different age; and yet the author here explores how Machiavellian strategy can be of value— ethical as well as practical—in the 21st century. Jean-François Caron is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Nazarbayev University where he teaches Political Theory.
