Abstract
CHIHU AMPARAN, Aquiles. Gramsci and Machiavelli. Polis [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.2, pp.69-90. Epub Mar 15, 2021. ISSN 2594-0686. https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/polis/2020v16n2/chihu.
Why Machiavelli? Why look in an author so chronologically and ideologically so distant the answers to the socialist revolution? The historical and political context in which both thinkers write their works is very similar. In Machiavelli we found the concept of double perspective, and his analysis of the Italian political context that lead him to propose the rules that a prince must follow to found a new state. Gramsci’s reflections on Machiavelli, and The Prince, laid the foundations for the conception of the politics, the State, and a strategy of social change in modern societies.
Keywords : Prison notebooks; double perspective; civil society; hegemony; war of position.
