Abstract

The ancient history of philosophy furnishes us with two towering traditions: that of classical political science (Plato and Aristotle), and that of classical hedonism (Epicurus and Lucretius). In the work of Machiavelli, some of the language from classical political science is borrowed or retained; but the substance of the political science built into Machiavelli's model is actually anchored in the classically hedonistic heritage. By studying Lucretius' poem De Rerum Nature and its impact on literary and political circles

Abstract

Im Jahr 2013 feiern die gelehrte und die politische Welt den 500. Jahrestag des Erscheinens von "Der Fürst (Il Principe)". Ohne Übertreibung kann man diese Schrift von Niccolò Machiavelli als einen der großen Schlüsseltexte in der Geschichte der politischen Philosophie bezeichnen. Nach dem schon geflügelten Ausdruck "Machiavellismus" soll sich Machiavelli für eine Machtpolitik eingesetzt haben, die, von aller moralischen Verpflichtung losgelöst, ebenso rücksichts- wie skrupellos agiere. Machiavelli plädiert aber nicht für eine Entmoralisierung der Politik, vielmehr stellt er sich einer strukturellen Komplikation. Sie beschwört einen Konflikt von zwei verschiedenen Moralen herauf, vom Staatswohl und von der für das persönliche Leben gültigen, der personalen Moral. Für diesen Konflikt schlägt er eine Prioritätsregel vor. Solange es nur möglich ist, bleibt es auch dem Herrscher verboten, vom Guten, zu verstehen als personale Moral, abzuweichen. Allein dort, wo die "menschliche" Waffe nicht ausreicht, darf man auf die "Gewalt der Tiere" zurückgreifen; nur wo die Macht der Gesetze nicht genügt, soll man die Kraft des Löwen mit der List des Fuchses verbinden. "Der Fürst" handelt von einem Herrscher, der unter realen, das heißt bei Machiavelli stets: schlechtesten Bedingungen, dennoch sein Amt relativ gut versieht. Diesen und vielen anderen Aspekten widmet sich der neue "Klassiker-Auslegen"-Band in zwölf detailreichen Analysen, die von international anerkannten Philosophen und Machiavelli-Forschern verfaßt wurden. Die einzelnen Kapitel des Werks werden in schlüssigen Interpretationen dargestellt. Abgerundet wird der Band durch Erläuterungen zur politischen Philosophie der Renaissance, zum Bezug zu Machiavellis Gesamtwerk und zur vielschichtigen Rezeptionsgeschichte von "Der Fürst". Mit Beiträgen von: Erica Benner, Dirk Brantl, Rolf Geiger, Martin van Gelderen, Otfried Höffe, Mikael Hörnqvist, Andreas Kablitz, Giovanni Panno, Alessandro Pinzani und Peter Schröder.

Abstract

Ce livre retrace la rencontre de Spinoza avec Machiavel à partir de la matérialité de ses traces : de l'analyse de sa bibliothèque à travers ses grands textes politiques jusqu'à la construction métaphysique, cette rencontre peut être parcourue dans ses effets pluriels qui ouvrent une perspective de lecture de la philosophie de Spinoza irréductible aux deux grands développements du spinozisme dans la modernité, la philosophie de l'histoire et le nihilisme.

Abstract

This book investigates the influence of Epicurean physics on the argument developed in Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. Towards this end, the full philosophical history and origins of atomist philosophy are investigated during the first three chapters. Plato's critique of the atomist philosophy, from his dialogue the Parmenides, is a part of that investigation. In fact, Plato provides a refutation of the atomist philosophy in the Parmenides. A significant amount of scholarship has been accomplished that demonstrates the currents of Lucretian atomism in Machiavelli's Florence. Evidence is supplied as to Machiavelli's exposure to the Lucretian text, and the book then proceeds to investigate the transformational arguments of the Discourses On Livy itself. Machiavelli's Discourses are saturated with terminology that is borrowed from physics: 'materia' (Matter), 'corpo' (body), 'forma' (form), 'accidente' (accident).^ English translators have usually employed some theory as to which tradition of physics Machiavelli is relying upon, in order to conduct their translations. By borrowing the terminology of Lucretian physics, Machiavelli becomes able to conceive of the people in a political society as something less than human: as 'matter' or materia without form. In my analysis of Machiavelli's deployment of the concepts from Lucretian physics, it is attempted to unveil the brutality that is inherent in Machiavelli's new definitions of the elements of politics, and the general hostility of his political science to the Aristotelian concept of the human being as political animal. The classical physics of Aristotle, which Machiavelli has rejected for a model, indicates the forward looking momentum of natural beings. For Aristotle, nature intends human political society as the arena for human fulfillment. In Aristotelian physics, nature aims at an end in generation, i.e.^ at a culmination of the natural being in its proper condition of excellence. For human beings, this is justice, the quality of relationships that makes happiness possible. In Machiavelli, a new politicized physics is revealed. In Machiavelli's model, the human beings of formed matter are repeatedly sent, through new institutions and methods of government, 'back to their beginnings', i.e. to a condition of isolation, destitution, injury, and pain. The last chapter of the book concludes with an examination of the particular institutions and methods that Machiavelli holds out to us for employment, if his new vision of a republic is to be realized.
