‎Niccolo Machiavelli‎

‎The Prince‎

‎Penguin Books Ltd Mar 1999. New edition. Paperback. In the course of my political science training I studied at great length the modern idea of realpolitik. In that study I came to realise that it was somewhat incomplete without the companionship of The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli a Florentine governmental official in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The Prince is an oft quoted oft mis-quoted work used as the philosophical underpinning for much of what is considered both pragmatic and wrong in politics today. To describe someone as being Machiavellian is to attribute to the person ruthless ambition craftiness and merciless political tactics. Being believed to be Machiavellian is generally politically incorrect. Being Machiavellian alas can often be politically expedient.nMachiavelli based his work in The Prince upon his basic understanding of human nature. He held that people are motivated by fear and envy by novelty by desire for wealth power and security and by a hatred of restriction. In the Italy in which he was writing democracy was an un-implemented Greek philosophical idea not a political structure with a history of success; thus one person's power usually involved the limitation of another person's power in an autocratic way. nMachiavelli did not see this as a permanent or natural state of being -- in fact he felt that during his age human nature had been corrupted and reduced from a loftier nobility achieved during the golden ages of Greece and Rome. He decided that it was the corrupting influence of Christianity that had reduced human nature by its exaltation of meekness humility and otherworldliness. nMachiavelli has a great admiration for the possible and potential but finds himself inexorably drawn to the practical dealing with situations as they are thus becoming an early champion of realpolitik carried forward into this century by the likes of Kissinger Thatcher Nixon and countless others. One of the innovations of Machiavelli's thought was the recognition that the prince the leader of the city/state/empire/etc. was nonetheless a human being and subject to all the human limitations and desires with which all contend. nBecause the average prince like the average person is likely to be focussed upon his own interests a prince's private interests are generally in opposition to those of his subjects. Fortunate is the kingdom ruled by a virtuous prince virtue here not defined by Christian or religious tenets but rather the civic virtue of being able to pursue his own interests without conflicting those of his subjects. nVirtue is that which increases power; vice is that which decreases power. These follow Machiavelli's assumptions about human nature. Machiavelli rejected the Platonic idea of a division between what a prince does and what a prince ought to do. The two principle instruments of the prince are force and propaganda and the prince in order to increase power virtue ought to employ force completely and ruthlessly and propaganda wisely backed up by force. Of course for Machiavelli the chief propaganda vehicle is that of religion. nWhoever reads Roman history attentively will see in how great a degree religion served in the command of the armies in uniting the people and keeping them well conducted and in covering the wicked with shame.nMachiavelli has been credited with giving ruthless strategies the example of a new political ruler killing the deposed ruler and the ruler's family to prevent usurpation and plotting is well known -- it is hard to enact many in current politics in a literal way but many of his strategies can still be seen in electioneering at every level in national and international relations and even in corporate and family internal 'politics'. In fact I have found fewer more Machiavellian types than in church politics! nOf course these people would be considered 'virtuous' in Machiavellian terms -- doing what is necessary to increase power and authority. nThe title of this piece -- the virtues of Machiavelli must be considered in this frame; certainly in no way virtuous by current standards but then it shows not all have the same standards. Be careful of the words you use -- they may have differing definitions.nPerhaps if Machiavelli had lived a bit later and been informed by the general rise of science as a rational underpinning to the world he might have been able to accept less of a degree of randomness in the universe. Perhaps he would have modified his views. Perhaps not -- after all the realpolitikers of this age are aware of the scientific framework of the universe and still pursue their courses.nThis is an important work intriguing in many respects. Far shorter than the average classical or medieval philosophical tome and more accessible by current readers because of a greater familiarity with politics than say metaphysics or epistemology this work yields benefits and insights to all who read mark inwardly digest and critically examine the precepts.
