The Prince

Whether on a well-curated shelf or in your back pocket, these timeless works of philosophical, political, and psychological thought are absolute must-haves for book collectors as well as design enthusiasts.As a diplomat in turbulent fifteenth-century Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli knew how quickly political fortunes could rise and fall. The Prince, his tough-minded, pragmatic handbook on how power really works, made his name notorious and has remained controversial ever since. How can a leader be strong and decisive, yet still inspire loyalty in his followers? When is it necessary to break the rules? Is it better to be feared than loved? Examining regimes and their rulers the world over and throughout history, from Roman Emperors to renaissance Popes, from Hannibal to Cesare di Borgia, Machievalli answers all these questions in a work of realpolitik that still has shrewd political lessons for modern times. Tim Parks's acclaimed contemporary translation renders Machiavelli's pointed original into language that feels as alarming and enlightening as when it was first written. His introduction discusses Machiavelli's life and reputation, and explores the historical background to the work.For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Contemplating with Medieval Philosophers
Medieval philosophies, which flourished in the West between the 5th and 16th centuries, present a fascinating perspective on life, one which often seems strange to modern readers. Contemplating with Medieval Philosophers is an interactive study of selected representatives of these philosophies and a practical guide to contemplating on their deep insights. The book regards medieval philosophies not merely as theories of the past, but as starting points for the reader's own personal exploration. Selected ideas of fourteen medieval and Renaissance philosophers are presented here, together with suggestions for contemplative exercises. This approach has been developed in the international Deep Philosophy Group which practices contemplation on philosophical life-issues with the help of philosophical texts. This book is Volume 2 of the series Contemplating with Philosophers of the Past.

Die Gesellschaft der Reformation
Anknüpfend an mittelalterliche Ordnungsmuster spielte auch in der Reformationszeit die Gliederung der Gesellschaft in drei Stände eine zentrale Rolle: status ecclesiasticus (Lehrstand), status politicus (Wehrstand), status oeconomicus (Nährstand). Insbesondere durch das theologische Konzept des Allgemeinen Priestertums der Glaubenden bzw. Getauften geriet die traditionelle gesellschaftliche Ordnungsstruktur in Bewegung, da sich Vertreter aller Stände aufgerufen fühlten, für des 'christlichen Standes Besserung' einzutreten. Thomas Kaufmann zeigt anhand exemplarischer Studien, wie Fürsten, Ritterschaft, Bauern, Städte, Laien beiderlei Geschlechts, Mönche und Kleriker, 'echte' oder vermeintliche Bauern aktiviert wurden und auf eine 'Veränderung' bestehender Verhältnisse drängten. Die Dialektik von traditioneller Ordnung und 'Veränderung' bestimmte die Dynamik bis zum Bauernkrieg, der innerhalb der frühen Reformationsgeschichte eine tiefgreifende Zäsur darstellte.

Propheten, Schwärmer, Rottengeister
Das polemische Konstrukt des "Schwärmers" bzw. des "Schwärmertums" stellt im Luthertum bis ins 20. Jahrhundert hinein ein wirkmächtiges Modell der Wahrnehmung und Bewertung religiöser Phänomene und politischer Optionen dar. Luther selbst verwendete und prägte ein reiches Arsenal an Kampfnamen und pejorativen Begriffen, mit denen er seine 'radikalen' Gegner belegte und durch die er 'Abweichung' von der sich als normativ durchsetzenden eigenen Position markierte. Thomas Hahn-Bruckart geht in seiner Studie diesen und weiteren Strategien sprachlichen Ein- und Ausgrenzungshandelns nach, um nachzuzeichnen, wie das vom 'Eigenen' abweichende 'Andere' in der frühen Wittenberger Reformation markiert und konturiert wurde. In seiner bis Anfang 1525 reichenden Perspektive wird deutlich, wie ursprünglich auf einzelne Aspekte und Personen bezogene Verdikte zu einem Gesamtphänomen verdichtet wurden.
