20.500.12556/RUL-188305 Človek kot (a)politično bitje? Komparacija politične teorije Jeana-Jacquesa Rousseauja in Niccola Machiavellija Human as an (A)political Being? A Comparison of the Political Theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Niccolò Machiavelli Pričujoča primerjava politične teorije, kot jo predstavita Machiavelli in Rousseau, je namenjena prikazu razvoja klasičnega republikanizma v novem veku. Republika je bila za Machiavellija politična stvarnost in žrtev razkroja v toku njegovega življenja, za Rousseauja pa je bila le še normativni ideal zamišljene suverene skupnosti. Četudi avtorja ločujeta dobri dve stoletji in precej drugačne politične okoliščine njunih obdobij, pa so v analizi opazni podobni nazori o osmislitvi, ohranitvi in ureditvi republikansko urejene politične skupnosti. V primerjavi sta najprej predstavljena antropološka pogleda obeh avtorjev, kjer bo razvidno Machiavellijevo dojemanje človeka kot homo politicus, pri Rousseauju pa bo izpostavljena samotarska narava t. i. ''naravnega človeka''. Nato je predstavljena Machiavellijeva politična teorija, kjer so posebej razloženi in umeščeni republikanski nazori v okviru dela Razmišljanja ob prvih desetih knjigah Tita Livija, nato pa so predstavljeni še nazori v delu Vladar, priročniku politične manipulacije in izvrstnemu učbeniku realpolitike zgodnjega novega veka. V okviru Rousseaujeve politične teorije je predstavljeno avtorjevo dojemanje nastanka politične skupnosti kot posledice materialnega izpopolnjevanja človeške družbe (la perfectibilité), sledi razlaga avtorjeve uskladitve suverene oblasti s politično svobodo državljanov v okviru Družbene pogodbe. Sklepni del primerjave pa je namenjen predstavitvi podobnih nazorov o naravi in osmislitvi politične skupnosti, kjer je opazna izjemna podobnost dojemanja kohezivnih elementov sleherne republikanske skupnosti – kulta izvrstnih osebnosti in instrumentalne vloge religije, ključno pa je pri avtorjih opazno pojmovanje politike kot umetnosti virtuoznih posameznikov, ki osmislijo in ohranijo republiko, kakor tudi politično svobodo. The following comparison of political theories, as developed by Machiavelli and Rousseau, serves to illustrate the evolution of classical republicanism throughout the early modern period. For Machiavelli, the republic represented a political reality that was declining during his lifetime, whereas for Rousseau it existed primarily as a normative ideal of an imagined sovereign community. Although the two authors were separated by more than two centuries and wrote under markedly different political circumstances, this analysis demonstrates several parallel conceptions concerning the meaning, preservation, and organization of a republican political community. The comparison begins with an examination of the anthropological assumptions underlying the thought of both authors. This section will highlight Machiavelli’s understanding of man as homo politicus, while in Rousseau’s thought it will emphasize the solitary nature of the so-called “natural man.” The discussion will then turn to Machiavelli’s political theory, with particular attention given to his republican ideas as articulated and situated within Discourses on Livy. Subsequently, his arguments in The Prince will be examined, both as a manual of political manipulation and as a sophisticated treatise on early modern realpolitik. Within the framework of Rousseau’s political theory, the analysis will address his account of the emergence of political society as a consequence of the material progress of human society (la perfectibilité). This will be followed by an examination of Rousseau’s attempt, in The Social Contract, to reconcile sovereign authority with the political freedom of citizens. The concluding section of the comparison will focus on the similarities between the two thinkers’ views regarding the nature and meaning of political community. It will reveal a striking convergence in their understanding of the cohesive elements necessary for sustaining any republican order – namely, the cultivation of exemplary figures and the instrumental role of religion. Most importantly, this analysis will demonstrate that both authors conceive politics as an art shaped by virtuous and exceptional individuals who give meaning to, preserve, and ultimately sustain the republic as well as political liberty. republikanizem arcana imperii družbena pogodba osmislitev politične skupnosti konflikt republicanism arcana imperii the Social Contract the constitution of the meaning of the political community conflict true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2026-09-20 07:22:14 2026-09-20 07:22:30 2026-09-21 04:28:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 631292 70815.pdf 70815.pdf 1 86BD8D536D38D3B04A89C7100FA7157A 098883bf4e4523fdf9a662f1220f6291ddf9b2d7ced0cbefa2c50e8b41eb84f0 379d7a62-b4b3-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=248336 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
