Farewell to Fortune
Machiavelli's argument in chapter 25 of The Prince for resisting Fortune is no longer persuasive. The reason is that it is based on the outmoded Ptolemaic cosmology. With that cosmology long discarded, it is time to discard the political philosophy based on it. But discarding the political philosophy does not mean discarding the chapter. On the contrary, we should study the chapter with renewed diligence as part of the history of Machiavelli's po…
Gandhi and the Emergence of the Modern Indian Political Canon
This article explores Mahatma Gandhi's contributions towards the evolution of the modern Indian political canon. Beginning with the Arthasastra, classical India had a political canon of its own. It flourished for over a millennium, but it suffered near extinction with the introduction in the nineteenth century of the Western political canon by the colonial state. Gandhi in the twentieth century intervened and challenged the dominance of the Weste…

The Question of Machiavelli's Modernity
That Machiavelli is an innovator of political philosophy is universally acknowledged. The program of innovation is outlined in The Prince, chapter 15: he wants to depart from the orders of his predecessors. The goal of the new philosophy is “effectual truth,” and not the imagination of it. Actual states, not “imagined republics and kingdoms” are its real concerns. The distinction between how one lives and how one ought to live is still made, but …
Machiavelli's Notions of Justice: Text and Analysis
A MONG MACHIAVELLI'S OCCASIONALWRITINGS, there are two marvelous examples of Renaissance rhetoric, one devoted to the theological virtue of charity (caritas) and the other to the moral virtue of justice. The first is known as the Exhortation to Penitence, and an English translation of it has been available since 1965.' The second, known under the title of l'Allocuzione fatta ad un magistrato (Allocution Made to a Magistrate) has not been translat…
Ideology, Philosophy and Politics
Ideology and Political Culture
Values of Closed Society
The premise of this essay is that although there can be a certain degree of openness in a good political society, the idea remains valid that all political societies, without exception, are fundamentally closed systems. This means that, no matter how progressive a political system believes itself to be, it exists ultimately for the protection and advancement of the values and interests of a particular exclusive group and not for the defense and a…

Symbolism in Gandhian Politics
Larticle démontre que l'activité politique de Gandhi peut être expliquiée par les symboles auxquels il a eu recours. Pour Gandhi, la politique n'avait pas qu'une fonction utilitaire mais aussi un rôle de formation par la poursuite de valeurs, d'origine spirituelle sans doute, mais servant d'objectifs à l'action politique. Pour faire saisir ces objectifs, Gandhi a eu recours à divers symboles : le « khadi » (pièce d'étoffe du pays s'enroulant à la…
