Aprašymas
Despite the long-standing image of him as a cool and rational thinker, Machiavelli keenly understood that passions perform a key function in politics: ambition, anger, fear, hope, and love are just some of the emotions that inhabit the works of Niccolò Machiavelli. Nonetheless, his thoughts on passions have never been thoroughly explored in scholarship. To fill this gap, this book gathers fifteen essays by scholars with different academic backgrounds and approaches to this topic. The outcome is a compelling, multidisciplinary, and groundbreaking analysis of the entanglement of passions and politics in Machiavelli's political, historical, and literary writings.
Contributors are: Claudia Antonini, Lucio Biasiori, Tommaso De Robertis, Alberto Fabris, Guido Frilli, Jayne Knight, Manuel Knoll, Diego Lazzarich, Julien Le Mauff, César Morales Oyarvide, Alessio Panichi, Julia Penafiel, Andrea Polegato, Ron Schmidt, and Valentina Serio.
