Title: The art of power
First published: 2007
Description: "The Art of Power is a challenge to traditional political theory. Diego A. von Vacano examines the work of Machiavelli, arguing that he establishes a new aesthetic perspective on political life. He then carries out the most extensive analysis to date of an important relationship in political theory: that between the thought of Niccolo Machiavelli and Friedrich Nietzsche. The Art of Power makes a significant contribution to the growing interest in the intersection of aesthetic theory and political philosophy, as well as in interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives on political theory."--Jacket.
