Volume Editor:
This volume is an attempt to rethink Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the most challenging political thinkers in the history of European political thought. In 2013, we will mark 500 years since Machiavelli wrote his puzzling letter to Lorenzo deâ Medici, Il Principe. This book is an endeavor to cover some of the most complex aspects of Machiavelliâs life and work.
"So überraschend es sein mag, wenn der erste Beitrag zum 500. Geburtstag des »Principe« gerade aus dem Baltikum kommt, so ist der anregende kleine Sammelband zum Jubiläum ein Beweis mehr dafür, dass Machiavelli inzwischen jene Anerkennung als europäischer Politikdenker findet, die ihm ein Diskurs der Empörung über Jahrhunderte vorenthielt." â in: Francia-Recensio 2012/2
"this volume succeeds very well in opening new perspectives on an everlasting classic of political philosophy. From a historical viewpoint, the adoption of Machiavelli has often been unfair, due to sciolism and/or political prejudice. The work in hand proves the popular impression of the âone issue scholarâ wrong by revealing the richness and complexity of Machiavelliâs contribution to that field. Needless to say, one does not have to consent to each and every argument of this book, but dealing with it becomes a necessity when one is working on its topics." â in: Homo Oeconomicus 29/2 (2012), 195â218
