- Title
L'ÉMEUTE POPULAIRE CHEZ MACHIAVEL ET GUICHARDIN.
- Authors
RUGGIERO, RAFFAELE
- Abstract
In Discours, Machiavelli suggests that a moderate social conflict, namely that between patricians and plebeians in Rome, is likely to create the best conditions for state improvement; but he also needs to consider the case of an overwhelming conflict, and the subsequent advent of an extraordinary autocratic power to harness it. For this reason, especially in Histoires florentines, he analyses the popular passions founding the riots. After Machiavelli's death, Guicciardini wrote his Considérations advancing an alternative thesis about social disorders.
