Machiavelli is chiefly known for The Prince, but his main
considerations on politics are found in his later work Discourses
on Livy. Despite this book's historical and theoretical importance,
its complexity, length and style have often discouraged new readers
and interpreters of Machiavelli from engaging with it. For this
reason, the Discourses has not been given the attention it
deserves. This volume of newly commissioned essays by some of the
world’s leading Machiavelli experts seeks to remedy this
deficiency. It is the first collective volume dedicated
specifically to this profound work, covering topics such as
Machiavelli’s republicanism, the relation between liberty and
tyranny, the role of religion, Machiavelli’s conception of
history, his writing style, his view of society as a plural and
conflictive body, his suggestion of how a free state should be
organized, and his notions of people and virtù. Contributors:
Jérémie Barthas, Thomas Berns, Alessandro Campi, J. Patrick Coby,
Marie Gaille, Marco Geuna, Mark Jurdjevic, Cary J. Nederman,
Gabriele Pedullà , Diogo Pires Aurélio, Fabio Raimondi, Andre
Santos Campos, Miguel Vatter, and Camila Vergara.
