Machiavelli. Die Begründung des politischen Denkens der Neuzeit aus der Krise der Republik Florenz

Rate this book
Machiavelli ist eine Figur, an der die Geister sich scheiden. Wird er den einen zum Helden politischer Pragmatik im Zeichen der Skrupellosigkeit, bemühen sich die anderen um deutliche moralische Distanznahme. Herfried Münkler vermeidet solche Vorentscheidungen. Seine Studie arbeitet die Aktualität eines politischen Autors aus dem realgeschichtlichen Hintergrund heraus.
