Condition: Gut. XIV, 238 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - TO THE READER -- If phronesis had become an English word the way praxis has, this book would be better titled Machiavelli and the History of Phronesis. Since I have to translate phronesis, I prefer the more traditional rendering, "prudence," to the preferred but more technical modern translation, "practical wisdom"; "prudence" contains connotations of virtue - that is, of a praiseworthy ability connected to character - while "practical wisdom" or "practical reason" suggests a more detached skill whose operation can be identified apart from the characters who use it and the purposes they use it for. The history of phronesis, even the one act of that history that concerns Machiavelli, consists largely in the oscillation between those two meanings and translations. -- Because of the exemplary functions of the texts I will refer to throughout the book - Plato's dialogues contain the Socratic paradoxes about prudence that generate and articulate its problems; Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, and Rhetoric provide a structure of terms and arguments; and Machiavelli's argumentative tactics upset and transform the relatively stable meanings and conditions that Aristotle can attribute to prudence - little should turn on textual and editorial matters. While my argument does depend on close textual analysis, what is currently called a thick reading, I have rarely been concerned with dissecting particular paragraphs or syntactic puzzles, but have instead concentrated on the more tactical and strategic sides of argument. Except for Aristotle's Politics, the works featured in this book have few textual problems, and even their textual history and the history of their reception is relatively uncomplicated. I have consequently for the most part relied on the most readily available editions and translations of the works cited, though the translation of the epigraph is my own. For the Greek texts of Plato and Aristotle, I have used the Oxford Classical Text editions; for the translations of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and Quintilian, I have quoted the Loeb Classical Library editions listed in the Bibliography. For quotations from Machiavelli I have used, for The Prince, Mark Musa's bilingual edition ( New York: St. Martin's, 1964 ) , and for the Discourses and occasional other works of Machiavelli, the translations in Max Lerner's Modern Library volume, The Prince and the Discourses ( New York, 1940 ) , and in Machiavelli: The Chief Works and Others, translated by Allan Gilbert ( Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1965 ) . The outstanding problem in translating Machiavelli is the meaning and function of virtù and fortuna, and I have left those terms untranslated.

Book First Edition
hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition. Bound in umber cloth with black lettering on the spine. Rhetoric of the human sciences. - In a radical departure from conventional readings of The Prince and Discourses on Livy, Eugene Garver examines the Machiavellian texts in order to illuminate more general problems of practical reason. He bases his detailed readings not only on an explication of the ethical and political problems of Machiavelli's readers, but on an analysis of the philosophical problems of practical reason and prudence drawn from Aristotle's Ethics and Politics, and on an exhibition of the resources for thinking about those problems taken from the history of rhetoric. Garver claims that prudence, practical wisdom, and practical reason in general have a history, and that Machiavelli represents an important turning point in that history. While no one would quarrel with the idea that the decisions and actions thought to be practically wise or prudent have changed through time, it is Garver's contention that the abilities required for the good operation of practical reason have themselves changed, that the story of those developments is worth tracing, and that the history of rhetoric is a valuable resource in reconstructing the history of prudence. Garver begins by examining the argumentative and stylistic surface of The Prince, its presentation of examples and maxims embedded in a series of elaborately formal frames. He goes on to make the achievement of the text problematic by rejecting any simple elision between the discursive virtuosity Machiavelli exhibits and the practical virtu he presumably teaches. Garver then turns to the politics of rhetorical invention, exploring ways in which the different parts of rhetoric generate different kinds of politics Machiavelli's politics of rhetorical invention versus a politics of another part of rhetoric, style. What were earlier seen as argumentative tactics here become the substance of politics as Machiavelli's enterprise is seen as a politics of invention opposed to traditional rulers who rule by style, by acting like princes. Here, the devices and techniques of rhetoric begin to thicken into something that, says Garver, could be called an art or discipline. Garver next returns to the relationships between rhetoric and action, as he treats the last three chapters of The Prince, paying particular attention to Machiavelli's allegory of treating fortune like a woman. xiv 238. Umber dustjacket with white text and a depiction of Machiavelli.CONDITION: Covers are unmarked. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are sound.
