Abstract

Resumen: Maquiavelo, el autor de El prí­ncipe, inicia en teorí­a polí­tica una especí­fica modernidad: aquella que consagra la eficacia o la efectividad en la conquista y conservación del poder, o aquella que privilegia la ciencia-técnica y no las virtudes de la antigua filosofí­a moral. Por lo mismo, Maquiavelo, en su modernidad, ya está lejos de Platón, Aristóteles o del mismo Cicerón. Es el escritor y pensador de la civitas hominis. Se vislumbra, con él, un mundo nuevo con sus luces y sus sombras. Y, por supuesto, con un humanismo especí­ficamente secular, aún en sus contradicciones.: Machiavelli, The Prince"™s author, initiat ed an specific modernity in political theory: that which privileged eficacy and efectivity in the conquest and conservation of power, or that which privileged technoscience and not the virtues of ancient philosophy. For this very reason, Machiavelli is already far from Plato, Aristotle and Cicero. He is the writer and thinker of civitas hominis. Machiavelli conceives a new world with its lights and shadows. And, of course, with an specifically secular humanism, even with its own contradictions
