Machiavelli has been among the most commented upon, criticised and feared thinkers of the modern world. Infamous for his support of brutality and repression as valid political instruments, he is often portrayed as the pantomime villain of political theorists. In this whirlwind tour of Machiavelli’s writings and eventful life, Nederman highlights the complexities in his thought, showing that he actually advocated democracy as much as dictatorship, and debate as much as violence – depending upon prevailing political conditions.©2009 Cary J Nederman (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Filosofia Politica e attivismo Politica e governo Politici Scienze politiche

Recensioni editoriali

Paul English's performance of Machiavelli is thoughtful and evocative. There is a lot of information in this audiobook, but English's narration is so steady and clear, that the audience is not fazed by the facts. In this audiobook, author Cary Nederman examines the rich life and controversial thinking of the Florentine Niccolo Machiavelli. His political discourse is a fundamental part of modern political theory. Machiavelli's influence is far-reaching, and with this introduction, the listener will feel able to opine about his legacy.

Recensioni della critica

“A worthy contribution to Machiavelli studies. Drawing upon rich biographical material and a wide array of primary sources, Nederman persuasively illuminates the power and complexity of the Florentine’s political thought.” (Mary Dietz, Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota)
“A remarkable achievement. Fluent and accessible in its language and style, yet insightful in its analysis.” (Benedetto Fontana, Professor of Political Science, Baruch College of the City University of New York)
“A fresh approach to Machiavelli that explains many of the puzzles in his writings. By the end of the book, we are convinced that Machiavelli’s approach to politics is actually better than most of the available alternatives. A book of many merits.” (John Christian Laursen, Professor of Political Science, University of California at Riverside)
