We turn to Machiavelli at every tumultuous period in history - he
is the one who knows how to philosophize in dark times. In fact,
since his death in 1527, we have never stopped reading him, always
to pull ourselves out of a torpor. But what do we really know about
this man? Is there more to his work than that term for political
evil, Machiavellianism? It was Machiavelli's luck to be
disappointed by every statesman he encountered - that was why he
had to create his paper Prince. Today, the question that remains is
not why he wrote, but for whom - for princes or for those who want
to resist them? What is the art of governing? Is it to take power,
or to keep it? In this timely book, Patrick Boucheron undoes many
of our assumptions about Machiavelli, showing how his rich, complex
thought is key to understanding his time, and may be crucial to
interrogating our own.
