While scholars continue to investigate interpretations of The Prince in different contexts throughout history, from the Renaissance to the Risorgimento and Italian unification, other fruitful lines of research explore how Machiavelli?s ideas about power and leadership can further our understanding of contemporary political circumstances. With Machiavelli on Liberty and Conflict, David Johnston, Nadia Urbinati, and Camila Vergara have brought together the most recent research on The Prince, with contributions from many of the leading scholars of Machiavelli, including Quentin Skinner, Harvey Mansfield, Erica Benner, John McCormick, and Giovanni Giorgini. Organized into four sections, the book focuses first on Machiavelli?s place in the history of political thought: Is he the last of the ancients or the creator of a new, distinctly modern conception of politics? And what might the answer to this question reveal about the impact of these disparate traditions on the founding of modern political philosophy? The second section contrasts current understandings of Machiavelli?s view of virtues in The Prince. The relationship between political leaders, popular power, and liberty is another perennial problem in studies of Machiavelli, and the third section develops several claims about that relationship. Finally, the fourth section explores the legacy of Machiavelli within the republican tradition of political thought and his relevance to enduring political issues. 606 $aRepublics$xPhilosophy$vCongresses 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aMachiavelli. 610 $aconflict. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $aliberty. 610 $anecessity. 610 $aoligarchy. 610 $apeople. 610 $arealism. 610 $arepublic. 610 $avirtue. 615 0$aRepublics$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 676 $a320.01/1 686 $aMC 4152$2rvk 702 $aJohnston$b David$f1951- 702 $aUrbinati$b Nadia 702 $aVergara$b Camila 712 02$aItalian Academy for Advanced Studies in America, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162715403321 996 $aMachiavelli on liberty and conflict$91976657 997 $aUNINA
