- More about Machiavelli's Platonic Problems: Neoplatonism, Eros, Mythmaking, and Philosophy in Machiavellian Thought
Machiavelli's philosophy engages with Platonic themes, revealing essential concepts and axioms of Machiavellian thought. By disentangling his conversation with Plato from his criticism of Christian Florentine Neoplatonism, we can gain a deeper understanding of his work.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 138 pages

Publisher: Lexington Books
Machiavelli is often portrayed as a thinker who rejected Platonism in its entirety. However, this book contends that, while he may have been less sympathetic to Platonic thought, his philosophy nonetheless delves into it in a profound and nuanced manner. To appreciate this, it is essential to separate Machiavelli's interactions with Plato from his criticism of Christian Florentine Neoplatonism. Upon doing so, Machiavelli's work reveals a deep engagement with key Platonic themes, such as love, the role of philosophical education in politics, and the relationship between policymaking and mythmaking. This engagement enhances our understanding of Machiavellian concepts and axioms, including fortúna, virtue, the significance of self-reliance, and the appropriate sources of political knowledge.
