ISBN10: 029911080X, ISBN13: 9780299110802, [publisher: Atlantic Books.] Hardcover 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 ar ...

Univ of Wisconsin Pr 1987 First Edition hardcover Fine in Near Fine jacket Size: 6x1x9; 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 for ...
