Las soluciones Modernas<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n In order to realize the magnitude of Machiavelli\u2019s success it is necessary that one should have a clear grasp of his principle. This principle, to repeat, is this: one must lower the standards in order to make probable, if not certain, the actualization of the right or <\/span>desirable <\/span>social order or in order to conquer chance; one must effect a shift of emphasis from moral character to institutions.<\/span> The right order, as Machiavelli himself conceived of it, was the hard-headed republic, which was modelled on ancient Rome, but which was meant to be an improvement on ancient Rome. For what the Romans had done haphazardly or instinctively can now be done consciously and deliberately: now\u2014after Machiavelli has understood the reasons of the success of the Romans. Republicanism in the Roman style, as interpreted by Machiavelli, became one of the most powerful trends of modern political thought.<\/span> We observe its presence in the works of Harrington<\/a>, Spinoza, Alge<\/span>rnon <\/span>Sydney<\/a>, Montesqui<\/span>e<\/span>u, Rousseau, and in <\/span>The Federalist<\/i><\/span>, and among those upper class Frenchmen who favored the French revolution out of concern for the status of France as a great power. But this posthumous success of Machiavelli is not comparable in importance to that which came about through the transformation of his scheme \u2014a transformation which was inspired by his own principle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Para darnos cuenta de la magnitud del \u00e9xito de Maquiavelo <\/span>debemos haber comprendido<\/span> claramente el principio fundamental de su<\/span> doctrina<\/span>. Este principio, repito, <\/span>es el siguiente: debemos rebajar las est\u00e1ndares con el fin de hacer probable, o incluso cierta, la puesta en practica del orden social correcto o deseable o con el fin de dominar <\/span>al azar; debemos de efectuar un desplazamiento del \u00e9nfasis del car\u00e1cter moral hacia las instituciones.<\/span> El <\/span>orden correcto<\/span>, <\/span>tal <\/span>como Maquiavelo lo conceb\u00eda, era la rep\u00fablica <\/span>realista <\/span>\u2014<\/span>pr\u00e1ctica<\/span>\u2014, <\/span>que fue modelada en la <\/span>antigua Roma, <\/span>pero que se supon\u00eda era una mejora de este modelo.<\/span> Lo que los romanos hab\u00edan realizado <\/span>de manera desestructurada o <\/span>instintivamente ahora pod\u00eda ser puesto en pr\u00e1ctica consciente y deliberadamente, despu\u00e9s de que Maquiavelo hab\u00eda interpretado las razones del \u00e9xito de los romanos. El republicanismo al estilo romano, seg\u00fan hab\u00eda sido interpretado por Maquiavelo, se convierte en una de las corrientes m\u00e1s poderosas del pensamiento pol\u00edtico moderno. Observamos su presencia en las obras de Harrington<\/a>, Spinoza, Algernon Sydney<\/a>, Montesqui<\/span>e<\/span>u, Rousseau y en <\/span>El <\/i><\/span>F<\/i><\/span>ederalista<\/i><\/span><\/a>, y entre aquellos franceses de clase alta que favorecieron la revoluci\u00f3n francesa <\/span>debido a su <\/span>preocupaci\u00f3n por el estatus de Francia como gran potencia. Pero este \u00e9xito p\u00f3stumo de Maquiavelo no es comparable en importancia al que se produjo mediante la transformaci\u00f3n de su <\/span>esquema original <\/span>\u2014una transformaci\u00f3n que estuvo inspirada por su propio principio.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Siguiente p\u00e1rrafo<\/a><\/p>\n P\u00e1rrafo anterior<\/a><\/p>\n Ir al inicio de esta entrada<\/a><\/p>\nLe<\/span>\u014d<\/span>nard<\/span>\u012b<\/span> Str\u016bt<\/span>h<\/span>i<\/span>\u012b<\/span> verba<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
