Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the \"Machiavellian moment.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis Princeton Classics edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Machiavellian Moment \u003c\/i\u003efeatures a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Machiavellian Moment\u003c\/i\u003e raised a thousand issues, settled two or three, and gave historians and philosophers a generation's work.
