Abstract

Conflict, Power and Multitude in Machiavelli and Spinoza explores Spinoza's political philosophy by confronting it with that of Niccolò Machiavelli. Filippo Del Lucchese conducts a study of the relationship between Machiavelli and Spinoza from a perspective at once philosophical, historical and political. The book begins by showing how closely tied the two thinkers are in relation to realism. Del Lucchese then goes on to examine the theme of conflict as a crucial element of an understanding of Machiavelli and Spinoza's conceptions of modernity. The book concludes with an examination of the con

Abstract

Amazons and giants, snakes and gorgons, centaurs and gryphons: monsters abounded in the ancient world.

Abstract

S’il est deux expressions qui reviennent en permanence dans la pensée politique aujourd’hui, ce sont sans doute celle de « crise » et de « puissance ». En quoi ces deux notions, loin de s’opposer, se nourrissent-elles mutuellement, au point de former une boucle conceptuelle qui a dynamisé tout le développement de la modernité ? En quoi est-ce en entrecroisant les pensées de Machiavel et de Spinoza que l’on peut le mieux comprendre cette solidarité profonde entre crise et puissance ? Telles sont les questions qui servent de fil rouge à ce livre qui s’adresse à la fois aux amateurs d’histoire de la philosophie et aux esprits avides de mieux comprendre les ambivalences de la modernité.En mettant en scène un dialogue conceptuel entre Machiavel et Spinoza, Filippo del Lucchese court-circuite quelques-unes des oppositions les plus largement répandues et néanmoins les plus aveuglantes : il montre que la « nécessité » spinozienne n’est nullement incompatible avec la « contingence » machiavélienne, mais que toute intervention politique doit au contraire savoir exploiter des développements nécessaires pour être à même de saisir l’occasion de changer le monde. De même ne faut-il jamais opposer « la logique des institutions » (collectives) à « l’économie des affects » (individuels) : on ne peut commencer à se repérer dans le champ politique qu’en prenant conscience qu’elles constituent les deux faces d’une même pièce. Ce livre nous montre que le tumulte n’est pas synonyme de « chaos » et que l’indignation ne se réduit jamais à une simple « passion ».C’est seulement en prenant la mesure du tumulte des crises et en s’appuyant sur la puissance rationnelle des indignations que peuvent s’imposer ensemble la nécessité et la possibilité d’une transformation radicale de nos sociétés.

Abstract

In The Radical Machiavelli: Politics, Philosophy and Language , some of the finest Machiavellian scholars explore the Florentine’s thought five hundred years after the composition of his masterpiece, The Prince . Their analysis, however, goes past The Prince , extending to Machiavelli’s entire corpus and shining new light on his political, historical, and military works, with a special focus on their heritage in modern Marxist thought, the arena in which they reverberate most profoundly and originally. Rather than a neutral, comprehensive, and safe interpretation, this book offers a partial and even partisan reading of Machiavelli, the 16th-century thinker who continues to divide scholars and interpreters, forcing them to confront their responsibility as contemporary thinkers in a global society where Machiavelli's ideas and the issues they address still matter. Contributors are: Etienne Balibar, Banu Bargu, Jérémie Barthas, Thomas Berns, Alison Brown, Filippo Del Lucchese, Romain Descendre, Jean-Louis Fournel, Fabio Frosini, Giorgio Inglese, Mikko Lahtinen, Jacques Lezra, John P. McCormick, Warren Montag, Vittorio Morfino, Mohamed Moulfi, Gabriele Pedullà, Tania Rispoli, Peter D. Thomas, Sebastian Torres, Miguel Vatter, Stefano Visentin, Yves Winter, and Jean-Claude Zancarini.
