Description
The Machiavellian Moment: Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Republican Tradition This landmark work of historical and political thought, first published in 1975, explores the consequences of the revival of classical republicanism in Renaissance Italy and its impact on modern historical and social consciousness. Historian J.G.A. Pocock examines the key ideas of thinkers such as Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, and then turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and Revolutionary America. Pocock argues that the American Revolution was a pivotal moment in the development of modern historicism, and that the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought had a profound impact on the course of Western politics. This revised edition features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore. With its insightful analysis of the intersection of politics, philosophy, and history, The Machiavellian Moment remains a crucial work for anyone interested in understanding the development of modern Western thought.
