内容説明
Almost 500 years after his death, Machiavelli's work continues to be the subject of literary criticism and reflection. This enigmatic Renaissance thinker produced two markedly dissimilar works of political philosophy at almost the same time: "The Prince", with its apparent advocacy of despotism, remained Machiavelli's most famous work, whilst "Discourses on Livy" argued for an uncorrupted political culture and republican governance. This translation seeks to remain faithful to the original Italian text and attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, and the translators' introduction offers an appreciation of the author and his work. Explanatory notes, a glossary of key words with occurrences and alternate translations, and an annotated biographical and geographical index are also provided.

内容説明
Discourses on Livy is the founding document of modern republicanism, and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided the definitive English translation of this classic work. Faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, it is eminently readable. With a substantial introduction, extensive explanatory notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated index, the Discourses reveals Machiavelli's radical vision of a new science of politics, a vision of "new modes and orders" that continue to shape the modern ethos.
"[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to inspire scholars for five centuries. Within the Discourses, often hidden and sometimes unintended by their author, lie the seeds of modern political thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov's] translation is careful and idiomatic."-Peter Stothard, The Times
"Translated with painstaking accuracy-but also great readability."-Weekly Standard
"A model of contemporary scholarship and a brave effort at Machiavelli translation that allows the great Florentine to speak in his own voice."-Choice
