Macchiavelli, Republicanism, Liberalism, AuthoritarismAbstract
At the beginning of the 20th century, the reading and reception of Machiavelli in Argentina had a winding and fragmentary history. Referred to and mentioned by central authors of political thought and intellectual life of the nineteenth century, such as Juan Bautista Alberdi or Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Machiavelli had been alluded to denigrate characters (for example, Juan Manuel de Rosas), or to repudiate behaviors that were associated with the Florentine: arbitrariness, violence, tyranny, perfidy, deceit, lies. Criticism of Machiavelli was a common denominator between nineteenth-century liberals and anti-liberals of the first half of the twentieth century (certainly because they saw in him their respective adversaries, that is, because they attributed opposing phenomena to his work and his place in history: tyranny and freedom, respectively). From this point of view, the reception of Florentine among jurists and academics of Argentine law offers a privileged point of view to notice counterpoints within the same political current or of thought or coincidences, perhaps unthinkable or at least surprising at first sight, between figures located in doctrinal antipodes.
