Summary

Esta es la obra más conocida de Nicolás Maquiavelo。 Más allá de asuntos secundarios y casi exóticos como el abuso del término «maquiavélico» para referirse a algo astuto o engañoso， tenemos aquí un tratado intachable， cuya vigencia en la actualidad resulta asombrosa， sobre las cualidades que debe reunir un buen gobernante。 Las reflexiones de Maquiavelo son una lectura obligatoria para quien desee comprender cuáles son la naturaleza y los límites del poder。

Very clear， brisk and unfussy translation by Russell Price， who also provides copious useful notes which expand and explain Machiavelli's sometimes terse references。 The editor， Quentin Skinner， gives a helpful introduction which outlines the text and highlights its revolutionary recommendations。 Very clear， brisk and unfussy translation by Russell Price， who also provides copious useful notes which expand and explain Machiavelli's sometimes terse references。 The editor， Quentin Skinner， gives a helpful introduction which outlines the text and highlights its revolutionary recommendations。 。。。more

Read as supplement to On Grand Strategy （which I think is probably the best way to put this book into context）

This book is an absolute masterpiece and a must for leaders。

To be like Machiavelli， you have to determine whether The Prince was his comedic attempt to try to destroy a kingdom or completely serious about how to run a kingdom。 Who knows， all I care about is that he says the ends justify the means。

Come al solito， recensire i classici non è facile。 Sicuramente， posso dire che la lettura de Il Principe mi è piaciuta parecchio: Machiavelli scrive molto bene， con un italiano rigoroso nella sua struttura ipotattica quasi latineggiante e una capacità argomentativa notevole。 Il suo procedere， tale per cui le conclusioni cui giunge paiono naturali， ricorda la logica platonica delle continue incalzanti biforcazioni （uno stato può essere un principato o una repubblica， un principato può essere nuov Come al solito， recensire i classici non è facile。 Sicuramente， posso dire che la lettura de Il Principe mi è piaciuta parecchio: Machiavelli scrive molto bene， con un italiano rigoroso nella sua struttura ipotattica quasi latineggiante e una capacità argomentativa notevole。 Il suo procedere， tale per cui le conclusioni cui giunge paiono naturali， ricorda la logica platonica delle continue incalzanti biforcazioni （uno stato può essere un principato o una repubblica， un principato può essere nuovo o ereditario ecc。）。Aiutano la comprensione i numerosi esempi che porta， tratti dalla storia antica （soprattutto， ma non esclusivamente， greco-romana） e dalla storia a lui contemporanea。Machiavelli è stato accusato da alcuni di essere cinico e privo di scrupoli， mentre altri hanno visto in lui un eroe del popolo dedito alla denuncia della malvagità delle classi dirigenti。 Ecco， nulla di tutto ciò: Machiavelli è un acuto osservatore della realtà e si limita a riportare quella， forse con un pizzico di pessimismo， ma senza giudizi di valore。 Il suo ideale è la ragione di Stato， unico motivo per cui effettivamente "il fine giustifica i mezzi" - frase mai scritta da Machiavelli， sia chiaro。Leggetelo， sia anche per avere una visione più completa dell'opera di uno dei grandi della nostra letteratura。 。。。more

Plutôt intéressant， mais assez compliqué à lire。 Je ne suis pas vraiment habitué à un telle vocabulaire ni à une telle plume。 Heureusement que j'avais qu moins quelques connaissances historique qui me permettait de remettre dans leur contexte toutes les personnes qui étaient citées。 Rien que pour m'entraîner à lire autre chose c'était plutôt pas mal。 Donc j'ai apprécié l'exercice。D'un pont de vue des connaissances c'est également très intéressant。 Ce guide peut être encore utiliser de nos jours。 Plutôt intéressant， mais assez compliqué à lire。 Je ne suis pas vraiment habitué à un telle vocabulaire ni à une telle plume。 Heureusement que j'avais qu moins quelques connaissances historique qui me permettait de remettre dans leur contexte toutes les personnes qui étaient citées。 Rien que pour m'entraîner à lire autre chose c'était plutôt pas mal。 Donc j'ai apprécié l'exercice。D'un pont de vue des connaissances c'est également très intéressant。 Ce guide peut être encore utiliser de nos jours。 La nature humaine n'a pas tant changé que ça finalement。 Il faut toutefois beaucoup s'accrocher pour le lire et le finir puisque même si c'est intéressant ça reste compliqué et bourré de références qu'il vaut mieux avoir pour avoir une appréciation plus totale。 。。。more

Niccolò Machiavelli （1469-1527） was born in Florence， Italy。 Until 1512， he had an active political life and served at diplomatic and military positions in Florentine Republic。 He lost his office when Medici family reclaimed Florentine throne。 Machiavelli， then， moved to his family estate and dedicated his life to writing。 He wrote his magnum opus The Prince （Il Principe） in 1513 and then went on writing many political， historical， fictional and dramatic works。 He is often regarded as the founde Niccolò Machiavelli （1469-1527） was born in Florence， Italy。 Until 1512， he had an active political life and served at diplomatic and military positions in Florentine Republic。 He lost his office when Medici family reclaimed Florentine throne。 Machiavelli， then， moved to his family estate and dedicated his life to writing。 He wrote his magnum opus The Prince （Il Principe） in 1513 and then went on writing many political， historical， fictional and dramatic works。 He is often regarded as the founder of the modern political science。 。。。more

3。5 to be honest。 Beginning was slow， then became interesting and at the end humerous。All the ideas are within the context of a very cutthroat society so definite but limited usefulness。 Much moreso if one is in a leadership position。

Jake Bos ，

It's still not entirely clear to me whether Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince is a descriptive work or a prescriptive work。 Are we dealing with an is or an ought situation here？ Is this the man that Plato warned us about？ Did Machiavelli create and endorse the blueprints for tyranny？ Or was he simply observing human nature as it played out on the political arena？ To borrow his own words， was he a "fox" or was he a "lion"？ Was Machiavelli "Machiavellian"？ It's still not entirely clear to me whether Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince is a descriptive work or a prescriptive work。 Are we dealing with an is or an ought situation here？ Is this the man that Plato warned us about？ Did Machiavelli create and endorse the blueprints for tyranny？ Or was he simply observing human nature as it played out on the political arena？ To borrow his own words， was he a "fox" or was he a "lion"？ Was Machiavelli "Machiavellian"？ 。。。more

I found this translation really readable， and I like how the footnotes in this edition work: there's an asterisk if there's a footnote， and then all footnotes are organized in the back of the book by page number。 So the footnotes aren't intrusive， and easy to follow if you want to。 This edition also comes with a glossary in the back of the different historical figures mentioned。 I found this translation really readable， and I like how the footnotes in this edition work: there's an asterisk if there's a footnote， and then all footnotes are organized in the back of the book by page number。 So the footnotes aren't intrusive， and easy to follow if you want to。 This edition also comes with a glossary in the back of the different historical figures mentioned。 。。。more

Fascinating book that catalogued how rulers have historically ruled。

Stefan Jobe ，

I would love to get Niccolò’s take on the current state of affairs。 There’s brilliance throughout this short novel。 His education for the times mesmerizes with each turn on the page。 Machiavelli’s cover letter to Lorenzo The Magnificent concludes with a firework filled word play that William would have applauded。

Ground-breaking treatise on political economy: thought-provoking， though more for academic than leisure reading。Machiavelli gives advice on how to seize and retain power in renaissance Italy， a time when the territory was divided into small princely fiefdoms。 He distinguishes between three broad political classes: princes， the ultimate powers; nobles and princely advisors， who share in the riches of the princedom and need to be carefully managed to avoid them gaining excessive power; and the Ground-breaking treatise on political economy: thought-provoking， though more for academic than leisure reading。Machiavelli gives advice on how to seize and retain power in renaissance Italy， a time when the territory was divided into small princely fiefdoms。 He distinguishes between three broad political classes: princes， the ultimate powers; nobles and princely advisors， who share in the riches of the princedom and need to be carefully managed to avoid them gaining excessive power; and the common people， who are generally subservient to whomever is in power and who pose risks only when badly abused， thereby allowing contenders to the throne to whip up dissatisfaction。The Oxford World's Classics edition of The Prince has a useful thirty-page introduction by Maurizio Viroli， an Italian professor of the history of political thought who has taught widely on Machiavelli as well as Rousseau。 In addition， a forty-page appendix provides explanatory notes on Machiavelli's text as well as a glossary of popular names。 Thus， the supplementary materials in this edition almost match the ninety-page length of The Prince itself。The spellbinding aspect of The Prince is the way in which the gaining and use of power is discussed in a completely amoral manner。 No consideration is given to balancing power against ethics or religion。 Rather， ethics and religion may be used， whenever beneficial， as a tool for achieving power， but cannot be given precedence when to do so would jeopardize power。 From an ethical or religious perspective， Machiavelli would be condemned for elevating power in such a manner。 But it would be delusion to assume that those in power would not do whatever is necessary to maintain their position and， from this perspective， Machiavelli's work is truly instructive。After a period in which we trusted that the untrammeled pursuit of power had been tempered by democracy and globalization， we find ourselves again in a world where raw power has counted more than accepted norms of behavior， both in US politics and Russian military aggression。 It would be interesting to update Machiavelli's analysis to study the use of power in the 21st century。My three-star rating reflects the fact that The Prince is an academic read， rather than one for leisure。 Clearly， from the perspective of renaissance literature or the history of political thought this is a classic。 However， while this edition reads well （in a translation by Peter Bondanella）， it is densely studded with references to renaissance， Roman and Greek rulers。 Only a well-informed historian would be able to appreciate this to the full。Some striking quotes:A Prince's Duties: "As far as physical exercise is concerned， besides keeping his men well ordered and exercised， he must always be out hunting and must accustom his body to hardships in this way; and he must learn the nature of terrains， and know how mountains rise， how valleys open， how plains lie， and understand the nature of rivers and swamps; and he should devote a great deal of attention to such activities。 Such knowledge is useful in two ways: first， one learns to know one's own country and can better understand how to defend it; second， with the knowledge and experience of these terrains， one can easily comprehend the characteristics of any other site that it is necessary to explore for the first time。 。。。 A prince who lacks this expertise lacks the most important quality in a commander， because it teaches you to find the enemy， choose a campsite， lead troops， organize them for battles， and besiege towns to your advantage。"Of those things for which princes are praised， or blamed: "A man who wishes to profess goodness at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good。 Therefore， it is necessary for a prince who wishes to maintain himself to learn how not to be good， and to use this knowledge or not use it according to necessity。"Of cruelty and mercy。。。: "One would like to be both one and the other [to be loved and to be feared]。 But since it is difficult to be both together， it is much safer to be feared than to be loved， when one of the two must be lacking。 For one can generally say this about men: they are ungrateful， fickle， simulators and deceivers， avoiders of danger， and greedy for gain。 While you work for their benefit， they are completely yours， offering you their blood， their property， their lives， and their sons， as I said above， when the need to do so is far away。 But when it draws nearer to you， they turn away。 The prince who relies entirely upon their words comes to ruin， finding himself stripped naked of other preparations。 For friendships acquired at a price and not by greatness and nobility of spirit are purchased but are not owned， and at the proper time cannot be spent。 Men are less hesitant about injuring someone who makes himself loved than one who makes himself feared， because love is held together by a chain of obligations that， since men are a wretched lot， is broken on every occasion for their own self-interest; but fear is sustained by a dread of punishment that will never abandon you。"How a prince should keep his word: "A wise ruler， therefore， cannot and should not keep his word when such an observance could be to his disadvantage， and when the reasons that caused him to make a promise are removed。 If men were all good， this precept would not be good。 But since men are a wicked lot and will not keep their promises to you， you likewise need not keep yours to them。 A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to color over his failure to keep his word。" 。。。more

Should be required reading for any politics course， or anyone interested in politics。 Machiavelli repudiates any idea of politics being about ideals by hammering the point that you need power to exercise your ideals， so any conception of politics that doesn’t focus on how to gain and maintain power is next to useless。 The focus of the book is firmly on the practical， so Machiavelli takes constant examples from recent （for his time in Renaissance Italy） and ancient history， as well as his own exp Should be required reading for any politics course， or anyone interested in politics。 Machiavelli repudiates any idea of politics being about ideals by hammering the point that you need power to exercise your ideals， so any conception of politics that doesn’t focus on how to gain and maintain power is next to useless。 The focus of the book is firmly on the practical， so Machiavelli takes constant examples from recent （for his time in Renaissance Italy） and ancient history， as well as his own experience in the government of Florence。 The influences here are Livy and Tacitus， not Plato and Aristotle。 He argues amorality （not immorality） is key in being a political operator: you need to be able to use moral methods when they suit you， and immoral methods when they suit you。 Choose supporters who depend on you for their own survival， strike to kill when you move against political enemies， cultivate military prowess， try to appear virtuous to the public， and always act in the interest of your own and your state’s survival。 THEN you can worry about being becoming a virtuous ruler who governs according to ideals。 You need to gain and maintain government to govern。 The advice in the book is centred around the concerns of rulers in Renaissance Italy， but most all of it can be extrapolated to today。 Truly a work of enduring value。 。。。more
