Nicole Machiavelli

Introduction

Nicole Machiavelli (May 3rd 1469 in Florence, the Florentine Republic, 21st or June 22 1527) was a Florentine politician, diplomat, philosopher, historian and poet. His name is still with ruthless power politics associated with utilization of all resources. The term thereafter coined Machiavellianism is therefore often used as a derogatory description of a political behavior, the refined, but no ethical influences of morality and morality's own power and their own well- sees as the target. This behavior was not according to current knowledge Machiavelli's goal. Especially because of his work, The Prince (" The Prince "), he considered one of the most important political philosophers of modern times. His political and literary work Discourses has come about in the background (Ambler, pp. 1310-11).DiscussionMachiavelli image of Man

Niccolo Machiavelli in his writings, replacing the traditional image of humanism, the dignity, tolerance, nonviolence, and freedom of conscience. He personalized the people, by stating that every single human being special needs and desires have (ambie zone). Poor people are therefore not by nature made but by the way, as their ambitions track. First and foremost, people are "ungrateful" themselves against their "benefactors" and only a certain “honor, "he often holds on it to harm their benefactors. So people are never really well and never really bad, but in each case must be wary of them. The laws created, according to Machiavelli, to protect the citizens against the ingratitude of their fellow human beings.

This interpretation, which classifies the thinker into the traditional categories, matched by another, which examined the particular nature of Machiavelli in his concept of the "principle novo". The Prince, Machiavelli describes may not have any properties, but only skills in maintaining power (Europe, 461-1500, 2001). These skills should he ever take advantage of the circumstances. Any development of habits is to preserve the rule harmful. The Prince is, as it does not immoral, but a "trans-moral" character (Sternberger) located at each situation fits. Even further than Sternberg's - in the wake of the philosopher Leo Strauss - the neo-conservative Harvey C. Mansfield, in Machiavelli the founder of a “religion sees "the pure inner-worldliness and the pure pursuit of power, which is the supreme goal of human existence.

Peter Schroeder (2004), resemble the ideas of Machiavelli to the concept of the sociologist Max Weber in his lecture Politics as a Vocation, in which the latter the responsibility ethicists gives more political expertise, because he expected the wickedness of the world, as a supporter of the ethics of conviction. Schroeder suggested: "The difference between Machiavelli and Weber is the sole fact that first expresses this fact bluntly, while Weber she dresses in one eye, so to speak, civilized vocabulary."

In recent research, the influence that the reception of ancient archival work of Thucydides- explained the reason for a constant quest for power and human governance (e.g. Thuc 5, 105,2.) - Image of man on Machiavelli had emphasized (Brummett, pp. 250-57).
