Descriere

Discourses on Livy (1531) is as essential to an understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state.

Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics - the belief that a healthy body politic was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is one of the most sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval every written. In an age of increasing political absolutism, Machiavelli's theories became a dangerous ideology.

This new translation is richly annotated, providing the contemporary reader with sufficient historical, linguistic, and political information to understand and interpret the revolutionary affirmations Machiavelli made, based on the historical evidence he found in Livy.

X Nota 8

Titulatura a fost popularizata in cartea “Generatii” de catre William Strauss si Neil Howe, in care autorii au stabilit Generatia X ca fiind toti cei nascuti intre anii 1965-1980.Dar pentru prima data termenul de Generatia X a fost folosit de catre scriitoarea Jane Deverson , care a fost rugata de catre o publicatie britanica sa conduca un studiu despre tineri, referindu-se la noua generatie care: “sleep together before they are married, don’t believe in God, dislike the Queen, and don’t respect parents.” Americanizati un pic definitia( adica adaugati niste mall si mcdonald) si o sa intelegeti despre ce este romanul.
