何についての本か
マキァヴェッリの長いほうの書であり、共和主義のほうの書。リウィウスのローマ史への注釈が、共和国はいかにして生まれ、続き、滅びるかの理論になっている。
背景と歴史
『君主論』しか知らない人は驚くだろう。ここでマキァヴェッリは、最良の統治は混合政体であり人民の政体であると説く。あやまつ人民は、あやまつ君主よりも危険が少ない、とも。そしてもっとも人々を憤らせた一点——平民と元老院との抗争はローマを弱めたのではなく、自由にしたのだ、という主張。うまく水路づけられた不和は制度の原動機であって、病ではない。腐敗と「原点への回帰」の理論もあり、傭兵への不信もある。『論考』と『君主論』はほぼ同時に書かれ、見かけほど食い違ってはいない。併せて読めば、マキァヴェッリが道徳を説いていたのではなく、力学を記述していたことが見えてくる。

Permit me to inscribe your name on a translation of Machiavelli’s Discourses which I had your encouragement to undertake, and in which I have done my best to preserve something of the flavour of the original.

Of the accidents which led in Rome to the creation of Tribunes of the People, whereby the Republic was made more perfect IV. That the dissensions between the Senate and Commons of Rome made Rome free and powerful V. Whether the guardianship of public freedom is safer in the hands of the Commons or of the Nobles; and whether those who seek to acquire power, or they who seek to maintain it, are the greater cause of commotions VI. Whether it was possible in Rome to contrive such a Government as would have composed the differences between the Commons and the Senate VII. That to preserve liberty in a State, there must exist the right to accuse VIII. That calumny is as hurtful in a Commonwealth as the power to accuse is useful IX. That to give new institutions to a Commonwealth, or to reconstruct old institutions on an entirely new basis, must be the work of one Man X. That in proportion as the founder of a Kingdom or Commonwealth merits praise, he who founds a Tyranny deserves blame XI. Of the Religion of the Romans XII. That it is of much moment to make account of Religion; and that Italy, through the Roman Church, being wanting therein, has been ruined XIII.…
