Between Form and Event: Machiavelli's Theory of Political Freedom
ISBN: 9780792365334 / Angielski / Twarda / 355 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before Machiavelli, political freedom was approached as a problem of the best distribution of the functions of ruler and ruled. Machiavelli changed the terms of freedom, requiring that its discourse address the demand for no-rule or non-domination. Political freedom would then develop only through a strategy of antagonism to every form of legitimate domination. This leads to the emergence of modern political life: any institution that wishes to rule legitimately must simultaneously be inscribed with its immanent critique and imminent subversion. For Machiavelli, the possibility of instituting...

In doing so, however, the Angelic Doctor suggests a more developed analysis of goodness, based on his own metaphysical...
