Machiavelisme : compendium critique sur les pretentions de sa fiabilite / Machiavellism : a compendium critigue on the claims of its reliability

Gibango, Norbert Muzema 03 1900 (has links)
Text in French / This thesis is focused upon the political philosophy of Niccolò Machiavelli. It is a study of both the philosophical presuppositions of this philosophy and its practical implementation. The aim is to determine and evaluate the reliability of its claims in the light of the pursuit of “the common good” from the standpoint of philosophical anthropology. Machiavelli espouses a philosophical anthropology that vacillates between the good and the bad of the human being in pursuit of “the common good”. In the practical implementation of his philosophy, the bad frequently overshadows the good of the human being. It is precisely this obliviousness of the good of the human being that the thesis defended here intends to restore through anthropolitics as the “new science” of the human being. The restoration is at the same time the refutation of the bad side of the human being as the foundation of “the common good” as Machiavellism holds. The centrality of the good side of the human being as the starting point of the anthropolitics defended here assures the inscription of values in politics consistent with the practical pursuit of “the common good” truly beneficial to all human beings. There is no doubt that “anthropolitics” is the starting point of an urgent and a relevant contribution to the international politics of our time. / Compendium critique sur les prétentions de sa fiabilité Cette thèse est axée sur la philosophie politique de Nicolas Machiavel. Il s'agit d'une étude analysant à la fois les présupposés philosophiques de cette philosophie et sa mise en oeuvre sur le plan pratique. L’objectif est de déterminer et d'évaluer la fiabilité de ses prétentions, du point de vue de l'anthropologie philosophique, et ce, à la lumière de la poursuite du “Bien commun” comme idéal. Machiavel épouse une anthropologie philosophique qui vacille entre le bien et le mal de l'être humain quant à la poursuite de “l’intérêt commun”. Dans la mise en oeuvre pratique de sa philosophie, souvent le mal occulte le bien de l'être humain. C'est précisément cette inconscience ou négligence de l'être humain face à la prise en compte du bien que la thèse défendue ici a l'intention de rétablir par le biais de l’anthropolitique en tant que “nouvelle science” de l'être humain. Ici, la restauration sous-entend nécessairement, toujours et en même temps la réfutation de mauvais penchants de l'être humain, lesquels constituent le “contre-pied” au fondement du “bien commun”, dont le machiavélisme s’avère le spécimen parfait. D’où l’hypothèse de centralité humainement sensée, comme point de départ de l’anthropolitique défendue ici, garantit l'inscription des valeurs politiques compatibles à la poursuite des pratiques du «bien commun», lesquelles sont véritablement bénéfiques pour tous les êtres humains. Il ne fait aucun doute que l’anthropolitique constitue, de ce fait, le point de départ d'urgence et la pertinente contribution à la politique internationale de notre temps. / Philosophy / D.

Founding and re-founding : a problem in Rousseau's political thought and action

Hill, Mark J. January 2015 (has links)
protein chemistry, unnatural amino acids, chemical biology, proteomicsThe foundation of political societies is a central theme in Rousseau's work. This is no surprise coming from a man who was born into a people who had their own celebrated founder and foundations, and immersed himself in the writings of classical republicans and the quasi-mythical histories of ancient city-states where the heroic lawgiver played an important and legitimate role in political foundations. However, Rousseau's propositional political writings (those written for Geneva, Corsica, and Poland) have been accused of being unsystematic and running the spectrum from conservative and prudent to radical and utopian. It is this seeming incongruence which is the subject of this thesis. In particular, it is argued that this confusion is born out the failure to recognize a systematic distinction between "founding" and "re-founding" political societies in both the history of political thought, and Rousseau's own work (a distinction in Rousseau which has rarely been noted, let alone treated to a study of its own). By recognizing this distinction one can identify two Rousseaus; the conservative and prudent thinker who is wary of making changes to established political systems and constitutional foundations (the re-founder), and the radical democrat fighting for equality, and claiming that no state is legitimate without popular sovereignty (the founder). In demonstrating this distinction, this thesis examines the ancient concept of the lawgiver, the growth and expansion of the idea leading up to the eighteenth century, Rousseau's own philosophic writings on the topic, and the differing political proposals he wrote for Geneva, Corsica, and Poland. The thesis argues that although there is a clear separation between these two types of political proposals, they remain systematically Rousseauvian.
