Abstract

The paper attempts to probe the origin of the complex thought of Niccolò Machiavelli--and specifically his political outlook and historical ideas--through the particular nuances with which he uses such common words as ànimo, ambizióne, ingégno, prudénza, inganno, virtù, and fortuna, and other synonyms and antonyms and related expressions that can take on a bewildering variety of colorations. Frequent reference is made to the works of prof. Martin Fleisher of Brooklyn College and to papers by Prof. Anthony Parel of the University of Calgary. Machiavelli's thinking is also contrasted with that of his predecessors and contemporaries who influenced him, and the author presents his own reappraisal of the varied course that Machiavelli's ideas have taken down to the present day.
