The Logical Structure of Machiavellis Prince
Machiavellis Prince is not simply a manual for rulers but also a work of political philosophy. A writer is philosophic if they are asking and attempting to answer a permanent and universal question or questions, such as, What is the best way of life?, or, What is virtue?
The philosophic question Machiavelli is engaged in answering is, What is the status of the rules of politics? Another way of saying that is, Is politics autonomous, in that it has its own rules which can be evaluated on the basis of standards internal to its own operations, or do we evaluate the rules of politics according to standards external to it, derived from say, for e.g., religion, or classical political philosophy?
In class we discussed the three levels of interpretation that Machiavellis masterpiece demands of us: (1) his advice to Italian princes at his time, (2) his advice to rulers about common problems in government (what has since been called his realpolitik), and (3) his philosophical argument that redefines nature, virtue, justice, freedom, and politics itself. I want you to focus on the third level of the argument in this paper, which will require a careful reading of the text to discern Machiavellis argument.
In short, I want you to work on developing your skills as interpreters of the logical structure of an argument. Logical structure can be defined as giving an account of the argument of the text that (1) identifies pivotal or significant moments, (2) explains the significance of these moments, both in themselves and in relation to other key moments in the text, and (3) shows how all the parts can be brought together to form argument that answers an identifiable question (or set of questions). Your paper must clearly identify a QUESTION, and provide a THESIS to answer that question.
You are not required to use any other texts than the Prince for this assignment. I would MUCH PREFER that you engage directly with the text and not consult secondary or tertiary sources at all. IF you choose to use additional sources, please make sure to cite them (either in text in brackets or in a footnote) even if it is just from an internet website like Wikipedia (*hint dont use Wikipedia, its very uneven in its trustworthiness). Even if you are just paraphrasing, or picking up on an idea that you got from somewhere (and also if you are directly quoting text), a failure to cite is plagiarism.
