Machiavelli, reader of the Cyropaedia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
This paper presents a systematic study of Machiavelli’s reading of the Cyropedia. Being Machiavelli’s work a “depart[ure] from the orders of others”, it’s particularly important, we will argue, to understand the relation with the model of classical political philosophy that is attacked in his own books. This model is provided, we will claim, by the Cyropedia. To carry out this task, and in contrast with the established opinion on the subject, we will argue that the fundamental dispute among our two authors does not lie in the understanding of the relation between politics and virtue, but in the communication of a teaching regarding this relation (moderate in one case, “presumptuous” in the other) whose affinity has not been sufficiently recognized.
