The Italian thinker Machiavelli left
works in various fields such as politics, history and theatre. Undoubtedly, the
most famous of these works is “The Prince”. After the "Prince",
"discourses" and "mandrake" are also more prominent than
the other works of the thinker. The encompassing of the theoretical side of the
"Prince" created a new center for those who wanted to produce ideas
in the political field after Machiavelli. This center is now the thoughts in
the political field; It points to an area where one can think independently of
normative rules, moral principles, and naive comments. With the "Modern
Prince", Gramsci makes a modernist adaptation in line with this political
and intellectual influence caused by Machiavelli. Machiavelli's
"Prince" has now turned into a "political party" in
Gramsci. This study includes the analysis of Machiavelli's political thoughts
with a Gramscian reading. According to Gramsci, the clarity in the process of
conveying the general style and thoughts in Machiavelli's works is very clear.
In particular, Machiavelli's "realism" and the potential to transform
his ideas into active actions and his use of concrete instruments determined
the principles of Gramsci's Modern Prince. In addition, according to Gramsci,
who defended the invalidity of ethical and moral-centered interpretations of
the Florentine thinker by others, Machiavelli should be considered within the
context of his time and the conditions in which he lived. Gramsci discusses the
view that the distinction between the modern prince and the ruler and the
ruled, based on the ideas of Machiavelli, is a problem area related to the
essence of political structures. In addition, it is emphasized that there are
principles such as separation of powers and parliamentarism in Machiavelli's
work, but still, Machiavelli is a party to a compelling will. According to
Gramsci; The most important point where Machiavelli differs from the thinkers
before him; is that it offers non-utopian and realistic approaches to practice.
