| Résumé : | I would like to describe the way in which Machiavelli develops the idea of knowledge of the opportunity or occasion. I will try to substantiate the idea, first, by showing the shocks resulting from the clash of temporalities within it; second, by addressing two related issues, the question of ‘forcing belief’ and the classic argument of the new prince giving form to matter; and third, by widening my scope and making Machiavelli a philosopher of relationships. |
