马基雅弗利的新君主及其道德

Machiavelli's New Monarch Theory and Its Morality

在《君主论》中,马基雅弗利提出了一套新君主理论。从意大利统一的现实需要出发,他论证了君主制的必要性。他认为君主的目的是保有自己的国家,围绕着这个目的,马基雅弗利设定了君主要具备的一系列主客观条件。这一套新君主理论体现了马基雅弗利现实主义的政治思维方式和不同于基督教的世俗伦理观。

In his ＂On Monarch＂, Machiavelli proposed a set of new monarch theory. He demonstrated the necessity of monarch government system, from the realistic need of the unity of Italy. He thought that the aim of monarch was to own and guard his country. In order to get this aim, Machiavelli set a set of subjective and objective qualification which a monarch should have. This new monarch theory reflects Machiavelli＇ s realistic political thinking method and his secular ethics different from the Christian one.
