"the Prince" Machiavelli "new Monarchy" Thought

As the founder of modern political philosophy, Machiavelli subverted the tradition of classical political philosophy. Relying on the text of "The Prince", by describing the nature of altogether new principality and new prince, describing new prince's birth and maintenance can reveal the intention of Machiavelli, and even look into the political philosophy how to diverted from classic to modern.In fact, The whole "The Prince" hidden a complex plan, "The Prince" is not laid out in accordance with the order which noticed in the first chapter, and its typology analysis of the monarchy is also quite different from the government classification in the classical philosophy, the new principality understood by Machiavelli both have the double face , that is monarchy and the Republic ,and its essence is regarding persistence as the only standard. The new principality can't divided into monarch and tyrants.In "The Prince", Machiavelli detailedly described the necessary conditions for the birth and maintenance of the new monarch. As for the birth of the new monarch, the moral priority is not accessible, only the person who dared to confront the destiny, won the favor of the Goddess of Fate, met the necessity of requirements and closely combined the opportunity and ability, would be likely to leap to the new principality from the commoner. In order to maintain the new principality, the principality must follow the example of the lion and the fox, rely on the law and the army people and reject the religious authority.Through the reading above, this text argues that throughout the political thought plan of Machiavelli, we can find that Machiavelli was not as he outwardly described in "The Prince", who is only a subservient former in order to be recruited, but a very experienced mentor who was good at the nature of principality and the public and his wisdom is even more than the reigning monarch, the real reading object of this book is not Lorenzo De'Medici, but the potential new monarch. Machiavelli tried to overturn in the field which involved morality, pass on or even open up a new method and order. In this sense, Machiavelli is the creator of new order and Italian liberation, himself is a potential new principality.This article also considers that Machiavelli subverted the classical political philosophy through a very subtle way. From the fact that Fhilopoemen and friends argued how to capture hills can be seen, Machiavelli directed at ancient Greek philosophical tradition and attributed the ideological obstacles to the unification of Italy to the classical philosophical tradition. He demonstrated all the time the tyrant's importance in the birth and the maintaining of a new principality, even simply abandoned restrictive conditions on the dictator in the classical political philosophy and created a evil new principality, thus to avoid the soul being drastic to classical poli tical philosophy and led the way about mankind especially the new principality how to be excellent to "person" itself.
