Full textIn the last decades or so, Discourses on Livy has become the book where Machiavelli theorizes that political freedom is a result of social conflict. An increasing number of scholars have argued, and argue, that this issue has to be taken as one of Machiavelli’s major contributions to political thought. What our thesis tries to demonstrate is that this statement has no real textual basis. And the reason is – we argue - that when you have a very close and deep look on the Discourses, you have to recognize that it’s not clear at all what Machiavelli thinks about social conflict, as he comes out with so many contradictory statements on the subject that make it impossible to talk of any kind of a theory

Full textThe ancient Rome, both in the epochs of kings and of the Republic, is a good model of government in the thought of Machiavelli. In the interpretation of Roman political history, this model is frequently referred to as vivere civile or vivere libero. What exactly is the vivere civile according to Machiavelli? According to the responses of the Cambridge School researchers, the vivere civile would be a republic conceived of as a "structure of virtue", namely the institutionalization of the civic virtù that promots the virtù of the citizens (J.G.A. Pocock), or the name of any republican regime characterized by its independence from the external world and by the self-governance of its citizens (Quentin Skinner); and they believe that the vivere civile is equivalent to the republican regime. Conversely, we argue that the vivere civile is conceived of as, above all, in opposition to the tyranny, a good form of political community governed by laws and ordini, which can be realized not only in a republic but also in a monarchy. Besides, the vivere civile is based on three interdependent cornerstones: the whole of the laws and the ordini, the arms, and the religion, which are conceived together in the framework of a conquering republic. Our issue includes a set of questions: compared to the tradition, what is the particularity of the Machiavellian idea of the vivere civile ? What is the nature and content of the justice in the Machiavellian vivere civile ? Why is an “expansionist” republic (namely a republic that wants to expand by military conquests) superior to a “conservative” republic (that is content with its territory and does not seek to expand) ? Why is it necessary to keep one's own citizens armed in an expansionist republic? What role does the religion play in the vivere civile ? How to remedy the corruption of the vivere civile ? etc. These questions, however, are more complicated than they might seem and deserve more attention. Various works that are published in recent years have presented the legal, military and religious aspects of the Machiavellian vivere civile from several new perspectives. The thesis therefore aims to present a synthesis of Machiavellian thought through the prism of the question of vivere civile

Full textThis dissertation offers an interpretation of the works of Machiavelli, Montesquieu and Tocqueville by establishing a conversation between them. Hs main objective is to shed some more light on three cIassic works of Western political philosophy by following the history of the anthropological, sociological and political concept of "inquiétude" (restlessness). The other major purpose of this work is to further develop what Tocqueville has called the "new science of politics", which is characterized by the pursuit of a singular link between the analysis of facts, social life as it is, and the questioning of what it is l argue that the theories of MachiaveIli, Montesquieu and Tocqueville are ail founded in a singular social and political experience, and, at the same time, provide the means of applying judgment and criticism. The fundamental goal of this work is to elucidate this particular relationship between analysis and criticism, and to uncover some criteria that might inform political judgement where there is no commonly accepted objective standard
Duhamel, Jérémie. "La vertu du citoyen : Machiavel, Montaigne, Hobbes." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0063.
Full textThis dissertation examines the meaning of the reference to the virtue of the citizen in the political thought of Machiavelli, Montaigne and Hobbes. In the work of these three authors, we find an array of discourses on virtue that vacillate between the critiques of its classical representations and calls to redefine it in relation with new requirements. Through a comparative approach, this study aims to show that those variations constitute a fundamental rhetorical device for delineating a new mode of justification for virtues that combines two related principles. On the one hand, this new approach no longer rests on an ontological hierarchy of ends, but instead on a representation of a sovereign evil that takes different forms: political domination for Machiavelli, cruelty and tyranny for Montaigne, and civil war for Hobbes. Thus, the civic virtues are no longer encouraged as an expression of the good life, but as an essential instrument for protecting the common good from those vices. On the other hand, these three discourses seek to articulate a conception of virtue with a new representation of equality based on the idea of a common vulnerability. This dissertation advocates that, at the wake of the Machiavellian turn, diverse and often conflicting attempts to present a new concept of virtue began to appear, which valued the ordinary attributes of individuals with an emphasis on peace, justice and civility

Full textIt is a question of conceiving in the wake of machiavelli of politics as the politics of the lesser evil. This politics is based on a manner of thinking the economy of evil that does not in any way attenuate the radical nature of the latter. This work has taken two forms : an analytical commentary of the prince and an overall synthesis of machiavelli's work which ends with a study of representative readings. This conception of the political fecondity of events of radical evil, in the thought of their economy, is revealed as much in the exercise of the prince's limited cruelty as in the eruption of turmoil or the use of republican terror and the application of the harshness of the law. Machiavelli conceived the fecundity of unlinking (deliaison) in the constitution of the social bond with respect to the evolution of the state from its foundation and particularly its dual ability of renewing itself through the differend between moods and through the institutional register history is the place of insoluble conflict between fortune as an irreparable authority (whatever temporary victories there may he against her) and virtu, which, not trusting in reason's parameters, alone can pit itself against her and follow her excesses. History is revealed as the place in which liberty is tried out on the stage of glory politics is understood from the perspective of barely an aesthetic of the sublime that is linked to the aesthetic apprehension distinctive of the renaissance. Far from having unraveled the concrete reality of political life against a mythological background, it's with and against such a background that machiavelli was able to make his way towards an understanding of the political. This conception of the political emerges out of a writing that maintains the contradiction and constructs coherence only through confounding guideposts

Full textFrom the moment he joined the Florentine Chancellery in 1498 to September 1512, Machiavelli’s corpus of writings and letters shed a new light on the life and work of the Secretary. There is no doubt that Machiavelli was a true Patriot, extremely concerned about the role of foreign armies in Italy. Machiavelli represents also a "New Man" in his century and seeks to promote a program. Through his letters and his reports he advocates about the necessity of that program. In doing so he invents a new form of communication allowed by the political specificities of the Florentine Republic. This dissertation aims at identifying the characteristics of this art. Then it questions its philosophical relevance. Machiavelli rejects the theoretical philosophy of his time and would rather get engaged in action. Thus he becomes the founder of modern Political Philosophy. He is a man of speech, of writing and of action: he acts through writing and speaking. Reason’s ability to ‘consider what happens in fact’ through pre-existing concepts is challenged. Machiavelli describes politics as a realm of tensions that should be understood without being frozen by concepts. Therefore he invents a method of writing and thinking that could lead to the salvation of his homeland through Italy’s ‘communal’ unity. The dissertation is based on the pre-1512 corpus. In this light following and better-known texts appear as different versions of a unique program adapted to different interlocutors. Machiavelli cannot be seen as a Philosopher then, but rather as a political Actor who desperately attempts through writing, and despite exile and disgrace, to save his City from the imminent disaster

Full textThe objective of this work is to study the reception of Machiavelli during the last decades of the 20th century to our days, especially its popular success, in order to understand why and at what cost he became, beyond the academic sphere, a reference in so many fields, an image and a name (regardless of being attractive or repulsive) highly fascinating and impressive. At a time in which dematerialization and globalization disrupt habits and knowledge, how can we explain his success and his longevity and what does this machiavellian actuality entail ? Our objective is to make the distinction between a heavy legacy, since machiavelism goes back to the 16thcentury, and its modern avatars. Is Machiavelli himself the cause of those vicissitudes? The first part of our reflection is dedicated to the transformation, throughout the centuries, of the person (Machiavelli) to the persona (Machiavel). The second part focuses on the iconographic fortune of the Florentine, a fundamental component of his vitality and will attempt to reconstruct the genesis of an icon. In a final part, we look at the proliferation of references to Machiavelli and the mutation of the Secretary in an advisor, a spin doctor, a coach. Does this popularity, grown in parallel of Machiavelli’s thought, act to the author’s detriment? As we suggest in our conclusion, misfortunes and fortunes are closely intertwined: Machiavelli would never have seen his reputation last and reach the general public opinion, without the high value of his work, built all along his life. This popular Machiavelli cannot be dissociated from the academic one, just as the Machiavelli of the XXIst century must be included in the continuity of the centuries before

Full textCommon sense and philosophy are arguing about the interpretation of Machiavelli’s works. The first one accuses him of being even worse than a sophist, because his historical part would have been to inoculate perversity in political practice and theory. Whereas the second one claims that he would be one of the first builders of modern political science, who would have thought with lucidity the conditions of reasons of State. At first, we try to defend the pertinency of those interpretations, which bring to light, both, a fundamental aspect of Machiavellian’s lessons: the necessity, on the one hand, of “getting into the evil” in politics, in order to rise the society out of anomie, and, on the other hand, the impossibility for the subject who resolves to do it of being well-intentioned and well-advised. The subject of Machiavellianism, indeed, is in a relation of strangeness to the objective institution of State and to universal; he wants and thinks his "stato", and not the State. Paradoxically, however, it is because he is endowed with malignity that he can take part in the effectiveness of right. We then try to show how Machiavelli strove to solve this paradox. His originality consists in not relying on the idealistic requisites of practical reason: neither those of social morality nor those of consequentialist ethics. From a materialistic perspective, he opts for an equivocal advice addressed to a plurality of recipients; narrow-minded recipients, with opposite appetites, but able to restrain and to enhance one another, in spite of themselves. Our thesis, finally, is that the "republic" performatively activated by his advice is a non-Hegelian state, an ecological balance order between socio-political powers of different but paired species

Full textThis work expresses my reading of Gramsci as a philosopher of immanence. The problem of immanence, discussed essentially by Croce and Gentile is prevailing in Italian neo-idealism. But for Gramsci, the origin of this problem is born in Machiavelli’s thought, more precisely in the rapport defined between intellectual’s' consciousness and cosial evolution. It is why the whole first part of my work is dedicated to Machiavelli’s appearance in fascist Italia and to Gramsci’s reading Machiavelli. The second part analyses the problem of immanence in Gramsci’s work related to this reading's Machiavelli and tries to underlines the idea that Gramsci’s immanence is not speculation

Full textDebates on machiavelli's works between 1572 et 1643 are considered here in relationship to the religion wars and their consequences on the evolution of the french political system. We have examined huguenot antimachiavellism founded on the notion of tyranny as well as gentillet's humanist oriented contribution. We have also studied the "ligueur" antimachiavellism, a by-product of their all-religious conception of politics and j. Bodin's opposition to machiavelli which was, we argue, linked to his own concept of sovereignty. To the apologies in favor of machiavelli, written in the 1640s have been paid particular attention. Their are linked, we argue, with the crisis of the feudal codes of morality as well as with the appearance of the theme of the "conscience" in modern thought
Marietti, Marina. "La cite dans l'oeuvre des auteurs toscans de dante a machiavel." Paris 3, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA030203.
Full textThe present collection of essays gathers under a common heading a major poet, a historian whose thought radically transformed western political theory, and three minor storytellers. Its topic is the presence of the tuscan city in the very texture of the works written by those authors, in the years between the middle ages and the renaissance. Only two of the writers considered, i. E. Dante and machiavelli - who chronogically delimit the scope of this study - reflected explicitly and in a systematic fashion on the issues which beset their city, florence, in their respective time periods. The poet and the historian are in fact separated by two entire centuries. By the 1500's, the merchant society which had come into being, through an actual revolution in dante's times, was dissolving under the double impact of its internal crises and the pressure of foreign armies born out of the same feudal matrix from which the cities had emerged. The works of the short story writers also refract the issues pertaining to the times and urban environments that produced them, albeit in a fragmentary manner, given the storytellers' primary concern with entertaining their readers. The city necessarily exerted its influence through its hold on the minds and emotions of its citizens. More importantly, the examples chosen, the col- lections by franco sacchetti from florence, giovanni sercambi from lucca, and gentile sermini from siena, clearly show that the city's influence is manifested here at the level of ecriture in as striking a fashion as in the works written by greater authors
Drei, Henri. "Le mot et le concept de vertu chez Machiavel et Montesquieu." Tours, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996TOUR2007.
Full textThe thesis proposes to study the word and the concept of "virtu" in Machiavelli, and of "vertu" in Montesquieu. It examines the traditional opposition between these two authors. We accept, as major political texts, Ii principe (1515-1516) and the Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito-Livio (1517), the Considerations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur decadence (1734) and De l'esprit des lois (1748). In both considered corpus, "virtu" or "vertu" indicate a central political principle, and a selection of steering statements. For each corpus, we proceed in three stages. Initially, "virtu" or "vertu" form, mostly, the subject of a study of the meaning according to their contexts but, in accordance with distinct adapted modes for each of the two authors. This first study is relieved by the one of Machiavelli's argumentation and also by the one of Montesquieu's "tactics" and "strategy". We are in this manner and at last, led to examine the correspondences between political concept and conception of the politics. The "virtu" is, essentially, the principle of the republic and, secondarily, the one of the "princedom". The "vertu" is, fundamentally, the principle of the democracy. In conclusion, we reject the antithesis between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. Both are friends of freedom and what is developing, thanks to them, is a modern conception of the politics and of the political - of the citizen and of the power. In other words, the constitution of the possibility of acceptance of a government seen to have legitimacy

Full textThis dissertation focuses on the crucial and radical influence of Niccolò Machiavelli’s works on Golden Age Spanish political thought (from Charles V to Charles II). Based on an extensive corpus of more than 150 political and historical treatises of the era, this dissertation explores in detail the various trends at work in the political thinking of the first Spanish modernity, with particular attention for the extremely dynamic, paradoxical and protean way which Machiavelli was treated by the thinkers of the Hispanic world during the Renaissance and the Baroque. Of course, it appears at first sight that the ideas developed by Machiavelli in the Prince (published in 1532) and in the Discourses on Livy (published in 1531) regarding the prevalence in politics of efficiency over morality were met with hostility in the very Catholic Spain of the Habsburgs. Machiavelli’s works were placed on the Spanish Index in 1583, and became the object of a thunderous and often outrageous anti-Machiavellianism. Indeed, Machiavelli is often used as a conceptual scapegoat, accused of all the evils of the time, in particular religious freedom and the Wars of Religion. Nevertheless, a substantial group of Spanish writers were actually engaged in a much more ambiguous relationship with Machiavelli than it might appear initially. Spain and Machiavelli initially went through what might be called a honeymoon period, culminating with the Spanish edition of the Discourses on Livy in 1552 and 1555 by Juan Lorenzo Otevanti. The Discourses on Livy, as well as a reworking of the Art of War (the Tratado de re militari, published by Diego de Salazar in 1536), enjoyed considerable success among a readership glad to find in its pages helpful ways to think about questions relevant to an expanding State. But after the Index of 1583, Machiavelli became the target of an intense barrage of criticism, even though his writings never stopped exercising a deep fascination on many Spanish writers, who tried to, openly or tacitly, discuss and evaluate his ideas. On questions such as the use of simulation and dissimulation, liberality and parsimony, cruelty and mercy, the value of the given word, or the political advantages of religion, Machiavelli became a major interlocutor, who both challenged and encouraged Spanish thinkers to define their own conception of reason of State. Finally, Machiavelli is an author whose ideas were extensively plagiarized, reused and adapted by a considerable amount of Spanish writers, who yet kept on professing their anti-Machiavellianism, a phenomenon which has led me to the conclusion that there existed a Spanish Machiavellianism

Full textThis master thesis is about Niccolò Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. Our main issue is to know why did Machiavelli interest in Livy's History of Rome, from which point of view did he read and comment on it, and the political lessons he taught Florence from it. In chapter one, we present our method inspired from the Cambridge contextualist school. Next, we put Machiavelli back in his time through a short biography; then we present Livy's History of Rome, and the author himself. In chapter two, we present the Discourses on Livy and the background in which Machiavellli wrote it. We demonstrate how this work follows on from the Renaissance litterature and at the same time breaks with it. Then we study the possible connections between the ancient Rome and the 16th century Florence. Afterwards, we comment some chapters of the Discourses, as an exemple. The last chapter deals with the philosophical issues in the Discourses: which view on History reveals through it, which part do play the concepts of virtù and fortuna and finally, the possibility of updating Machiavelli's approach, that is to say taking - or not - into account the historical exemples as a guide for today's political action.

Full textThe subject of this dissertation is the relationship between philosophy and politics. It is by studying Claude Lefort and Leo Strauss' interpretations of Machiavelli that I choose to examine this relation. How does Machiavelli present his ideas, and what does this mean for modern thought and modern politics ? I used Machiavelli's work, as it is described by Lefort and by Strauss, as a "material", and attempted to think "with" or "against" it. The event I analysed is the development of totalitarianism, or of what Strauss calls "modern tyranny". Is totalitarianism the result of or, on the contrary, does it suppose the non-accomplishment of the possibilities opened up by Machiavelli ? These questions bring us back to Lefort and Strauss' own political ideas and allow us to create between them a fruitful dialogue on politics and on the role of philosophy - dialogue wich is, therefore, another "material" wich we can use to understand the world

Full textOur research aims at following the dialogue established between Montesquieu and Machiavelli. This dialogue is indeed hidden as Montesquieu rarely mentions his Florentine predecessor. However, it can be viewed as a fundamental exchange when it comes to the articulation of modern political philosophy. The thesis is divided in three sections. The first section –titled “The art of writing and the art of reading: Machiavelli and Montesquieu”- proposes to justify the perspective used in the research, which is indebted to Leo Strauss’s works on esoteric writing. The second section, with its title: “Montesquieu’s Machiavellian moment: Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and Their Decline” aims at showing the deep Machiavellian traces present in this text published in 1734. As a matter of fact Montesquieu supports his thoughts relating to the history of Rome on the ideas expressed in Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius. We look particularly into the analysis of the “Rome” phenomenon and the religious predicament in its relation with politics. In our third section –titled “Presence and Distance of Machiavelli: The project of “The spirit of the laws”, our objective is to understand Montesquieu’s political and philosophical project, having as its starting point its relation with Machiavelli. It is true that, at moments, Montesquieu’s liberal design attempts to refute some Machiavellian paradigms, but this refutation is always conducted in Machiavelli’s territory. We seek, then, to show how Montesquieu intends to provide an answer to the issues raised by Machiavelli accepting the latter’s terms: He thus sets the ground for what will become the liberty of the moderns

Full textThe research focuses on Machiavelli’s conception of imitation, as shown in various writings anteres perditas and post res perditas. I have combined two approaches: a philological andphilosophical one – in the interpretation of Machiavelli’s texts and of the relevant ancient sources –and a historical one, in the reconstruction of the different contexts in which Machiavelli foundhimself writing.The first substantial aim of the dissertation is to demonstrate how and why Machiavelli define animitation radically practical and critical. The second issue of my research is the object of imitationitself, namely the Romans and their political constitution. On one side, Machiavelli’s investigationof constitutional forms transcends the constitution itself, including wider institutions such aslanguage and religion as well as orders, (political, civil and military institutions); on the other sidehis investigation never endeavors to achieve a balance of powers, but moves continuously fromsituations of conflict.My research concludes with the assessment of a third substantial issue: the plurality of institutionalparadigms. Following Machiavelli to the letter, I show how his entire body of work is characterizedby the methodological intention of moving “from a long experience with modern things and acontinuous reading of ancient ones”. Therefore, together with a diachronic imitation that seeksmodels for the present through a critical juxtaposition with the past, a different kind of comparisonemerges: a spatial or, more appropriately, a geographical outlook

Full textThis work enquires about the relationship between freedom and civil conflict in Machiavelli's Prince, Discourses and Florentine Histories. He defines it in a way to allow us to consider the idea of citizenship without community from an original standpoint. Understanding his conception helps us to think of a political perspective distinct from the communist and the liberal utopias. The way Machiavelli sees civil conflict is complex : many ternis are used to describe it, whereas it is apparently grounded on a single antagonism ; freedom, as well as violence and destruction, may be derived from it ; we understand how it goes on and on, but its genesis remains somehow mysterious. These difficulties do not prevent us from considering the meaning and the scope of his thesis - the idea that freedom is at stake in civil conflict makes his political thought unique in a radical manner. What is this new political perspective ? Civil conflict only gives birth to freedom in a specific frame : is this the mixed constitution, or rather the people's republic ? What does mean the institutional expression of civil conflict ? However, this political perspective has a tragical dimension : manners prevail on laws. An ethos of freedom, linked to religion and poverty, is essential for the « vivere libero ». Freedom cannot be without a lifestyle called civility, that is destroyed by the unavoidable process of corruption. Machiavelli conceives freedom through the comment on the Roman republic. As a consequence, this political perspective is strongly dependent on it. Is Rome the paradigm of freedom for Machiavelli ? Are we able to perceive the implications of such a perspective once we have singled out the reasons for his choice ? In fact, in order to consider the conditions of Machiavelli's presence in contemporary political thought, we have to throw the light on his conception of history and his relation to the theory of the sovereign state

Full textThis research studies the allocation of World Bank loans with panel data covering up to 115 countries over three time periods: Cold War (1973-1990), post-Cold War (1991-2000), and post-September 11 (2001-2013). Among our findings, we show that the more a state receives a large amount of loans by the World Bank, the more it supports the US foreign policy. At the same time, our data reveals that recipients of World Bank loans are on average closer to Russian foreign policy than American foreign policy for all periods under consideration. We argue that these results provide evidence that World Bank’s loans are used to buy and reward supports or abstentions for specific resolutions in the United Nations rather than for all the ones adopted in a session. Our study furthermore indicates that after September 11 terrorist attacks, World Bank recipient countries receiving the greatest amount of US military assistance were also the ones receiving the largest loans by the Bank. Although this supports the thesis that the events of 9/11 led the United States to use the World Bank in their national interests as during the Cold War, we find that the Bank appears to have limited political considerations in the allocation of its loans after the collapse of the USSR and especially between 2001 and 2013.

Full textThe recent revolutions of the « Arab Spring » attest of the vivacity of the democratic ideal. Yet, this regime is characterised by a philosophical questioning on law and on institutions. In fact, it fits better than any other regime the essence of mankind. So despite the success of quantitative methods and the now undisputed autonomy of political sciences, modern times inherited a metaphysical point of view rather than a scientific way to address political questioning. However, the thesis explores the history of the first “science of institutions” that was born and developed in Modernity. Unknown current in the history of institutions, its proponents are paradoxically emblematic figures of modern political thinking, such as Machiavelli, Hobbes, Montesquieu or even Hume. The thesis unveils their ambitious project: to propose institutions adapted to the variety of the customs, behaviours, histories of the societies they study. The choice of the political regime should be respectful of human nature and at the same time adapted to the variety of the existing people. Therefore, the universal and the specific merge in order to serve the first real science of the modern era. The thesis research progresses through Europe from the XVIth to the XVIIIth centuries. At the end of its journey: a surprising encounter: the meeting of philosophers fascinated by the discoveries of these first political scientists. This encounter bore a new type of political regime, different from its Athenian counterpart: modern Democracy

Full textThis work aims at analysing the way Machiavel used words and concepts from the legal tradition of Antiquity and Middle Age in his political thought. Preference was given to the “ius non scriptum” in order to measure the direct influence of Latin categories such as “mores” and “consuetudo” elaborated by the Roman Law and the Canon Law and reemployed by Machiavel in a (much)more common form in all his writings. More broadly, it consists in a genealogy of the political vocabulary of the Italian Renaissance which is born in the Latin language borrowed from its Latin roots to highlight the logic of formation of modern political languages. In our research, we try to reconsider the modernity of Machiavel by contextualizing his thought in the medieval tradition which ends with Machiavel himself. First of all, we had to identify the main uses of the word “costumi” in Machiavel’s writings in order to emphasise its theoretical and major practical meaning in his thinking. By taking a short step back from the Machiavellian corpus, we tried to rebuild a history of the “ius non scriptum” doctrine from two medieval sources: The Corpus Iuris Civilis (VI century) and the Decretum Gratiani (XII century). At this point, we had to go back to the Machiavellian corpus to show the importance of the notion of “consuetudine” in his political vocabulary. It qualifies the people’s identity, the relation to orders, and more than everything it is the basis for the existence of Republics

Full textBy having recourse to La Bruyère’s Characters, this work aims at reassessing a question that has been let aside by scholarly studies dedicated to « the philosophy as a way of life ». This question deals with the new relation between speech and action which is believed to have occurred in the 16th-17th centuries in the West. Through different hypotheses, we have chosen to examine the role played by the Machiavellian type of speech, or the logic of the domination. Being at the same time a way to access knowledge, a mode of self-constitution and a relationship to politeia, this logic is the place where the Modern knowledge gradually falls within and also turns us away from an access to La Bruyère’s text that can release its potential of ethical reformation – its psychagogy. In order to gain access to this potential, we have in turns to distance ourselves from the discursive logic of domination and to renew with this other relation to language, to oneself and to politeia that this logic constantly brings into disrepute, in other words to this Socrastic relation to be found in the philosophical production of the Antiquity to which the Characters refer to

Full textThe research focuses on Machiavelli’s conception of imitation, as shown in various writings anteres perditas and post res perditas. I have combined two approaches: a philological andphilosophical one – in the interpretation of Machiavelli’s texts and of the relevant ancient sources –and a historical one, in the reconstruction of the different contexts in which Machiavelli foundhimself writing.The first substantial aim of the dissertation is to demonstrate how and why Machiavelli define animitation radically practical and critical. The second issue of my research is the object of imitationitself, namely the Romans and their political constitution. On one side, Machiavelli’s investigationof constitutional forms transcends the constitution itself, including wider institutions such aslanguage and religion as well as orders, (political, civil and military institutions); on the other sidehis investigation never endeavors to achieve a balance of powers, but moves continuously fromsituations of conflict.My research concludes with the assessment of a third substantial issue: the plurality of institutionalparadigms. Following Machiavelli to the letter, I show how his entire body of work is characterizedby the methodological intention of moving “from a long experience with modern things and acontinuous reading of ancient ones”. Therefore, together with a diachronic imitation that seeksmodels for the present through a critical juxtaposition with the past, a different kind of comparisonemerges: a spatial or, more appropriately, a geographical outlook

Full textThis thesis aims to show that Machiavelli has forged his very personal conception of the arte dello stato by establishing a tension between the rule and the exception. That is to say, the set of norms that allows a prince or a founder of the republic to lead the things of the state by ordinary means of recourse consistent with the attitude of a prudent man respectful of morality (ethics), and the momentary suspension of this normative conduct by the use of extraordinary means necessary for the maintenance of its state or republican institutions, contrary to prudence and to that morality.This approach of the Machiavellian reflection on the arte dello stato makes it possible to account for the great homogeneity of the texts that compose his work and cover a period of almost three decades.The method used is mainly hermeneutic and is inspired by the work on Machiavelli’s language

Full textThe objective of our study on the concept of "civil" in the thought of Montesquieu consists at first in presenting the context in which, especially after Adam Smith, and in the process of the separation of economical sciences from legal sciences, the sphere of the "civil", la ter called "civil society", becomes the object of economical sciences, and second, in understanding how, at the same time, the notion of "civil" lost the connotation of "political and legal society", that is "civitas". To approach this question, our first concern focuses on the increasing interest on R.oman antiquity which begin as renewal in huamnist thought in Europe. lntepretations of Roman history actually reflect the interests of intellectuals preoccupied with their own contemporary society. Nonetheless the divcrsity of these interpretations helps to understand the evolution of the analytical means used to analyse the society in general. ln this perspective, we compare Montesquieu with Machiavelli who lived in an incisive period in North of ltaly in the 15th, and the begging of the 16th, century, along with Harrington who lived in the time of the Civil War in England in the middle of the 17th century and, fïnally, with David Hume who defended the govemement established after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. From these analyses, we show the causes of the progressive sophistication of the social sciences matching the historical period during which the modern state system has gradually been established

Full textThis thesis focuses on the entire Machiavellian diplomatic carteggio (Legazioni, Commissarie, Scritti di governo). This correspondence reflects cultural practices of writing and all the sociolinguistic transformations they cover. The methodology is a combination between traditional philological methods and computer technology (Digital Humanities and Digital Studies): it is the intersection of these disciplinary fields I have conceived a software to analyze my corpus (Machiato). The argument of the the political instability has been developed in three stages: analyzing the upheavals triggered by the proliferation of conflicts; the impact of war on the conception of Stato as on practices and finally, multiplication and confusion of temporalities of the political world. Individuals are forced to reduce the time of speculation and theorizing to respond to the state of emergency, a state of permanent war. The LCSG allow to identify the steps in the construction of the Machiavellian perspective and more specifically, the various attempts to found the practice including insecurity, not as a source of disorientation but as specificity of action in politics
