摘要: 波考克把政治思想史视为政治论说的历史,包含两层意思:其一,一个政治作家的言说本身就是以语言表达或实现的行动;其二,作家在语言层面上与同时代人的交流和回应常带来了语言范式的转换。在《马基雅维利时刻》中,他通过对马基雅维利的“德性—命运”语言的探索,提出马基雅维利为公民共和主义带来了语言范式的革命。考察波考克对马基雅维利的德性语言的解读,可以看出其具有的三层含义:公民德性的普遍化、德性的政治化和德性的军事化。

Abstract: Pocock defined the history of political thought as the history of political discourse. This implies that a political writer’s speech itself is verbalizing a political act, and the writer’s discussions or interactions with his contemporaries at times result in a change of language paradigm. In his writing, The Machiavellian Moment, Pocock claimed that Machiavelli brought a language paradigmatic revolution for civil republicanism through his exploring Machiavelli’s virtuefortune language. This article provides a detailed account of Pocock’s exposition of Machiavelli’s concept of virtue, including universalization of civil virtue, politicization of virtue, and militarization of virtue.
