Machiavelli on Roman Military Discipline Summary The importance of Niccolò Machiavelli’s work for the evolution of modern political ideas is indisputable, but the organisation of military forces was an equally important issue for him. Although most researchers usually ignore this aspect, Machiavelli’s ideas exerted a significant influence on subsequent developments in European military discipline. He was inspired to a large extent by the works of the ancien authors containing descriptions of terms of service in the Roman legions. His attention focused on the Republican period, though he also examined episodes from the Imperial era. Nowadays he is recognised as one of the most influential authors of military treatises, whose ideas on military discipline had a substantial influence on its evolution.

Nel rinascimento letterario italiano la tematica legata all’ars memorativa assume forme e contenuti diversi, in relazione alla specificità del genere letterario e, conforme all’intenzione dell’autore, riveste un ruolo caratteristico per la realizzazione dell’obiettivo artistico e soggettivo dell’opera. Il presente studio si concentra sull’individuazione dei caratteri e delle funzioni del fenomeno della memoria nella letteratura del rinascimento italiano in base alle opere di Lodovico Ariosto, Niccolò Machiavelli e Giorgio Vasari. Questi autori, ricorrendo al tema della memoria, nelle opere appartenenti alle correnti letterarie diverse: epico-cavalleresca, politica ed artistica, trasmettono un’immagine dell’epoca in cui il denominatore comune è l’uomo con la sua psiche e la ricerca del proprio spazio nella società e nella storia.

The article presents Niccolò Machiavelli’s contribution to the development of the modern concept and language of politics. I embark on an analysis of the key concepts Machiavelli brought into the language of politics to show that his view of the state and raison d’état gave rise to the modern theory of the state and law, even though he had been nurtured on the medieval tradition of political thought. Unlike the medieval theoreticians of politics, Machiavelli put special emphasis on the endurance and growth of the state, making them the primary objectives of political activity and replacing the common good – the concept which was the cornerstone of the classical tradition – with the concept of raison d’état. For him the basic criterion for the assessment of political action and the way the state worked was no longer the concept of justice, harmony or the good life, but effectiveness.

Artykuł przedstawia wkład Niccolò Machiavellego w wykształcenie nowożytnej idei oraz języka polityki. Poprzez analizę kluczowych pojęć wprowadzonych do języka politycznego przez ﬂorenckiego myśliciela, autorka stara się udowodnić tezę, że chociaż wyrastał on ze średniowiecznej tradycji myśli politycznej, jednak opracowana przez niego idea państwa oraz racji stanu dały początek nowożytnej teorii państwa i prawa. W odróżnieniu od średniowiecznych teoretyków polityki, w myśli Machiavellego przetrwanie i rozwój państwa stały się najważniejszymi celami podejmowanych działań, a kluczowe dla tradycji klasycznej poję cie dobra wspólnego, zostało zastąpione przez pojęcie interesu państwa. Podobnie też podstawowym kryterium działań politycznych oraz oceny funkcjonowania państwa stała się już nie idea sprawiedliwości, harmonii czy dobrego życia, lecz skuteczność.

This article examines Niccolò Machiavelli’s account of virtues in his famous work The Prince. The Italian philosopher uses three different stages or steps of argumentation. All these steps are analyzed in this paper. It is argued that in each step, Machiavelli makes partial conclusions which are neglected in the next step. In the last step, Machiavelli concludes that not only some virtues lead to failure, but all virtues are harmful to a successful leader. Instead of an honest and just way of acting, Machiavelli proposes the slyness of a fox – the most effective and successful way of acting. Cicero’s De Officiis effectively helps to understand the radicality of Machiavelli’s account of virtues. Cicero’s work enables one to explain all the central metaphors and analogies used in Machiavelli’s The Prince. Comparing Cicero’s and Machiavelli’s radically different accounts of the same virtues and vices shows that Machiavelli changed the traditional understanding of virtues, thus refuting traditional moral and political philosophy.

The Czech history of the second half of the 20th century is marked by a number of historical twists which suppressed the public discussion of past history; however, the discussion was sometimes possible in the form of allusions. This essay focuses on one of those discussions; i.e. the one organized by Plamen magazine in 1969. The participants knew that they could not openly express their opinions on the invasion of the Warsaw Pact armies in August 1968. Thus, they used the 500th anniversary of Niccolo Machiavelli´s birth (1469–1527) to both recollect his personality and his work and to discuss the question of whether small countries were allowed to defend themselves against big ones. The message and topicality of the discussion constituted an unambiguous criticism of the Soviet Union, which claimed supremacy over its neighbors: its bloc.

The purpose of this article is to show the impact of Niccolò Machiavelli’s idea on Łukasz Opaliński’s “A Parish Priest’s Conversation With a Landowner”. The author of article noticed that for both of these political writers, virtue, good laws and customs were very important. First of all, however, the article presented examples of references by the Polish poet and writer of the baroque to such works as “The Prince” and “Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius”. The author also pointed out what influence this reception of Niccolò Machiavelli’s writings.

The subject matter of my research is the black legend of Niccolò Machiavelli in Polish baroque poetry. This legend spread in the 17th-century Commonwealth on such a large scale that the name of this secretary of the Florentine republicbegan to be used to describe even kings or pretenders to the throne who were political opponents. For this reason, I described in this scientific article the literary works of poets such as Wacław Potocki, Wespazjan Kochowski and Stanisław Orzelski. The second of these authors acted in a similar way in The Stone of Testimony of the Innocence of the Great Senator in the Polish Crown, comparing the actions of the royal court to an infernal council, in which such characters as Machiavelli, Richelieu and Mazarini take part. In my scientific article, I will emphasize that this Polish Baroque poet also showed the secretary of the Florentine republic in his other literary works as a perverse and demonic person. I will also note that Wacław Potocki in his work negatively refers to those people who defame John III Sobieski in lampoons and accuse him of using “Machiavellian arts”. I will not ignore Stanisław Orzelski’s Macaronica carmina Marfordii Mądzikovii poetae approbatihere.
