Maquiavelo, el maquiavelismo y la razón de Estado

2016

Machiavelli had the misfortune to see his name associated with one of the most notorious political currents of the history of thought. However, Machiavellianism is a practice and a doctrine that does not do justice to the richness of Machiavellian thinking. Over the past five centuries we have seen many interpretations of this Florentine author. Among them has been gaining strength Republican consideration, according to which, Machiavelli, above all, advocates the creation of a republic where political freedom is guaranteed to citizenschip. Both for creation and for conservation, Machiavelli justifies various means contradicting the moral of his time, which will set him as one of the leading theorists of the modern state and its maligned reason of state.
