Summary

Ivan Milenković: Praise of discord

Machiavelli against Machiavellianism

For five hundred years, interest in Machiavelli has not waned. That is quite enough to focus our attention on this Florentine writer. On the trail of Machiavelli's return to ancient models in order to better see the situation in Florence of his time, Milenković returns to Machiavelli in order to try to capture the present moment, removed from the present - in a sharpened perspective. Not only are the similarities between Florence in 1512 (the fall of the Florentine Republic) and Serbia in 2012 (the usurpation of the October 5th Republic) striking, but Machiavelli's conceptual framework can capture and articulate contemporary political and philosophical phenomena. Where the republic is overthrown or usurped, destruction - Milenkovic shows in Machiavelli's footsteps - is inevitable both for the ruler-usurper and for the state.

In his return to Machiavelli, the author tries to show that Machiavellianism is a myth to which Machiavelli gives his name, but that the Florentine master himself does not fit the profile of a Machiavellian - that is, someone who does not choose the means to conquer power and who does not pay attention to any civilizational fences to stay in power - he already is, on the contrary, one of the liveliest, most passionate and certainly the most lucid advocates of the republic. Because a democratic-type republic is, beyond any reasonable doubt, the best political order that man has so far managed to design.
