330   $aIn Machiavelli on Freedom and Civil Conflict: An Historical and Medical Approach to Political Thinking , Marie Gaille rethinks Machiavelli?s conception of civil conflict. In complete opposition to the common view of Machiavelli as a defender of tyranny, this analysis brings new elements to the forefront: the use of medical metaphors to describe the body politic, its historical lifespan and its institutional arrangement. This study is also based on a comprehensive approach to Machiavelli?s writings, including his most famous works, but also The History of Florence , his correspondence, and his political, military and diplomatic reports. This study allows Marie Gaille to propose an original assessment of Machiavelli?s insights for contemporary conceptions of democracy. This is a revised and translated edition of Conflit Civil et Liberté: la Politique Machiavelienne entre Histoire et Médecine , first published in French, in 2004 by Éditions Honoré Champion.
