“Michel Foucault’s Machiavelli”: A Glance at Foucault’s Reading of Machiavelli in the Context of Governmentality
Abstract
The aim of this study is to frame how Niccolò Machiavelli is situated in Michel Foucault’s thought, precisely, in his analysis of governmentality. The major argument of the study is that Foucault’s reading of Machiavelli can be examined on two levels. Accordingly, first, one might contend that through the lenses of Foucault, Machiavelli is seen as a representative of the paradigm of power that he himself criticizes. Second, in light of his analysis of governmentality, Foucault’s Machiavelli that is largely based on Machiavelli’s text, The Prince, inverts the relationship between territory and political subjects in Machiavelli’s political thought.
