In the first part of the paper the author presents the key theses of Vickie Sullivan’sreading of Machiavelli. Sullivan argues that, in order to prevent corruption,Machiavelli innovatively reworks elements of Christian teachingfor entirely temporal purposes and offers a specific, modern solution, ‘newRome’, in the form of an irreligious, fearful republic which early and effectivelypunishes the ambitious few seeking to establish tyranny. In the internalrealm of the city, the Florentine reduces class desires of the plebs and thegreats under the common goal of acquisition. A bellicose, tumultuous republicsatisfies the desires of all the social actors, resulting in a lasting political order.In the second part the author critically engages with Sullivan’s interpretation,drawing on Claude Lefort’s interpretation of Machiavelli. Surprisingly,Lefort’s groundbreaking work on Machiavelli has been absent in Straussianreadings of the Florentine. By highlighting the authentically democratic natureof Machiavelli’s project, in contrast with Sullivan’s reading, an entirelydifferent ‘new Rome’ arises on the horizon.
期刊介绍:
“Politička misao” je akademski časopis za politologiju i srodne discipline, koji od 1964. godine izdaje Fakultet političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Časopis je u pola stoljeća izlaženja stekao reputaciju središnjeg akademskog politološkog časopisa u Hrvatskoj i šire, naročito u nekadašnjoj Jugoslaviji, te u regiji koju čine post-jugoslavenske zemlje. “Politička misao” objavljuje priloge iz područja političkih znanosti i političkih studija općenito, odnosno iz svih poddisciplina politologije: političke teorije, međunarodnih odnosa, komparativne politike, hrvatske politike, javne politike, područnih studija, političke komunikacije, obrambenih i sigurnosnih studija i dr. Također, objavljujemo i članke iz područja koje nije moguće jednoznačno klasificirati po njihovoj pripadnosti samo jednoj disciplini nego se nalaze na „granici“ između dviju ili više disciplina: političke povijesti, ekonomske politike, političke filozofije, političke sociologije, političke psihologije, medijskih i kulturalnih studija i sl. Kao izdanje Fakulteta političkih znanosti u Zagrebu, objavljujemo i članke koji su neposredno vezani uz studijske programe na tom fakultetu. “Politička misao” je posebno zainteresirana za radove o hrvatskoj politici i društvu, za radove koji analiziraju Hrvatsku u globalnom kontekstu, kao i za radove koji istražuju politiku i društvo na Balkanu i u Jugoistočnoj Europi, u Europskoj uniji, u susjedstvu Europske unije, te na Mediteranu – regijama s kojima Hrvatska ima neposredni dodir.
