Description
Summary:The prologue to the Discourses on the First Decade of Livy defines the methodological conditions of political science using a specific analogy between law, medicine and politics. The aim here is to examine this analogy by trying to understand its stakes and origins. By relating it to the disputa delle arti, which has opposed medicine and law since the 14th century, as well as relating it to the emergence of legal humanism, which seeks to apply the scholarly methods of philology to law, the article aims to explain the meaning of this analogy and to show that the political science that Machiavelli intends to found is in fact a science of crises.
