马基雅维里关于政治道德和政治权术的理性选择

因《君主论》所表达的政治权术思想,马基雅维里被标签为“罪恶的导师”.其实马氏的政治价值取向在本质上是道德向善的.他的权术思想看似邪恶,实乃揭露.他的政治思想和政治实践只是他作为坦率的政治家,而不是政客在政治道德与政治权术之间的一种理性选择.同时,他的政治思想及其实践使政治与道德和伦理相脱离,开创了政治学发展的新阶段,为后人留下了丰富的思想财富.

Machiavell's Rational Choice between Political Morality and Political Trickery

Because of the thought of political trickery demonstrated in the book "The Prince" Machia-vell was labeled as " Evil Tutor". However, the tendency of his political value was lenient and charitable in essence. His trickery thought seemed evil but exposing factually. His political thought and practice was a reflection of his broadmindedness as a politician rather than a rational choice between the political morality and political trickery by a politician. At the same time, the separation between the politics and morality and ethic created by his political thought and activity pioneered a new stage for the development of the politics, which left up rich treasury of thought to us later generations.
