内容简介

《君王论》问世以来，对整个世界政治思想和学术领域产生了极为巨大的影响，然而毁多于誉，对这部分及作者的攻击几乎一直没有间断，只是到了20世纪后期，人们才逐渐地能够以平静的心情和科学的态度来予以研究。在西方，这部作品被誉为“影响世界的十大名著”之一，是人类有史以来，对政治斗争技巧的独到、精辟、诚实的“验尸”报告。他是一位将政治和伦理学分家的政治国思想家，而他的一腔爱国之情，在历史的乌云退去之后，终于大白于天下了，我们有信心断言，马基雅维利及其思想必将会越来越受到了人们的重视和更加深入的研究，而他的一系列重要的著作，也会逐步地完整译介到国内来，使国人能更为方便地与这位四百六十余年来为数不多的思想巨人午夜剪烛，促膝长谈。

'A prince must not have any other object nor any other thought...but war, its institutions, and its discipline; because that is the only art befitting one who commands.'When Machiavelli's brief treatise on Renaissance statecraft and princely power was posthumously published in 1532, it generated a debate that has raged unabated until the present day. Based upon Machiavelli's first-hand experience as an emissary of the Florentine Republic to the courts of Europe, The Prince analyses the usually violent means by which men seize, retain, and lose political power. Machiavelli added a dimension of incisive realism to one of the major philosophical andpolitical issues of his time, especially the relationship between public deeds and private morality.

His book provides a remarkably uncompromising picture of the true nature of power, no matter in what era or by whom it is exercised. This fluent new translation is accompanied by comprehensive notes and an introduction that considers the true purpose of The Prince and dispels some of the myths associated with it. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

作者简介

尼科洛·马基雅维里(Niccolò Machiavelli 1469—1527)是意大利佛罗伦萨的政冶家、外交家；同时是一位思想家——政治思想家。马克思曾经肯定马基雅维里及其后一些近代思想家在国家观上摆脱神学的束缚说，他们“已经用人的眼光来观察国家了，他们都是从理性和经验中而不是从神学中引出国家的自然规律；”并且又一次指出马基雅维里及其后的一些近代思想家使政治研究独立于道德，他说：“从近代马基雅维里……以及近代的其他许多思想家谈起，权力都是作为法的基础的，由此，政治的理论观念摆脱了道德，所剩下的是独立地研究政冶的主张，其他没有别的了。

Niccolò Machiavelli wurde am 3. Mai 1469 in San Casciano in Val di Pesa geboren. Er entstammte einer angesehenen, jedoch verarmten Familie. Er wuchs zusammen mit seinen drei Geschwistern in Florenz auf, der Vater arbeitete hauptsächlich als Anwalt. Mit seinem geringen Gehalt unterhielt dieser eine kleine Bibliothek und ermöglichte seinem Sohn Niccolò; eine umfassende humanistische Bildung. So lernte Machiavelli schon früh die antiken Klassiker kennen.
