Virtù in Machiavelli’s Prince

Prince: For most modern readers, Niccolò Machiavelli's deception, cunning and operation pronoun, its reputation is almost entirely one of the causes of his core political philosophy of contemporary works. Considering this image, it is surprising that the Italian virtue and its derivatives have appeared 72 times in all the works. Translators have tried their best to adapt this versatile word to the context, but it is clear that virtu is closely related to English homology.

As I emphasize the main dichotomy of this paper which is the dichotomy between Machiavelli's "God" and "Wealth" and between "Virtue and Wealth", I propose this part . The prince is a continuing attempt to define the virtue that the prince must possess if he wishes to achieve his goal with the most realistic terms possible. There is a small problem here now. Looking at the critical version of Norton, you will find that the translator refuses to translate the Italian word virtù into a consistent English equivalent. According to certain circumstances virtù translates into virtue, strength, courage, character, ability, ability, ability, talent, vitality, intelligence, savvy, ability, effort, skill, courage, strength, strength, energy, courage It will be.

The new prince depends on his virtue, but if virtue allows him to acquire the country, it has to have a new meaning different from the New Testament virtue in seeking peace in terms of seeking peace not. The concept of virtue of Machiavelli requires not only to pursue safety but also to pay attention to the art of warfare in order to pursue glory as well. Machiavelli's Virt is not for his own interests but for the Prince to gain reputation. For example, liberalism does not help the prince, because the beneficiary may not appreciate it and the luxurious acting demands taxation of the prince subject which insults him. Therefore, the prince ought not to worry about whether he can be considered jealous. According to Machiavelli, virtue aims to reduce the influence of wealth on personnel, as wealth makes people no longer dependent on themselves.
