Deep Republicanism: Prelude to Professionalism establishes the
importance of Machiavelli's radical republican agenda in
understanding the major revolutions of the modern world. Donald
Hodges's nuanced analysis of The Discourse of Livy reveals a
subversive republicanism in Machiavelli's theorizing that is at
odds with the demoliberalism often perceived as the work's primary
political agenda. Hodges follows this strand of republicanism
through history, providing a fascinating account of how these two
political philosophies vied with each other throughout much of
modern history in conflicts that culminated in the Russian and
American Revolutions. A unique treatment of Machiavelli's political
agenda, its implementation by numerous historical actors, and its
legacy, professionalism, Deep Republicanism examines aspects of
Machiavelli's work that have often been overlooked. It also sheds
light on Machiavelli himself, whose famously devious and crafty
writing style was partly motivated by his political vulnerability
in fifteenth century Florence. Hodges's study is both a novel
examination of the historical influence of Machiavelli's thought
and a testament to the enduring power, influence, and subtlety of
one of the best-known Western political philosophers.
