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 proceeds to carry out the most extensive analysis to date of an important relationship in political theory: that between the thought of Machiavelli and Friedrich Nietzsche. Arguing that these two theorists have similar aims and perspectives, this work uncovers the implications of their common way of looking at the human condition and political practice to elucidate the phenomenon of the persistence of aesthetic, sensory cognition as fundamental to the human experience, particularly to the political life. By exploring this relationship, 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.

Acknowledgements

Many people supported my work in this project. First and foremost are my family and friends. My parents Arturo and Marcela and my sisters Marcela and Claudia inspired me to pursue the academic path. Without their life-long encouragement, and that of Maria Antonieta Cmara, Mario Dorado and Alejandra Dorado, as well as Pepe and Maria Luisa Cmara, I would not have been able to pursue this objective. My friends and colleagues also provided intellectual stimulation and personal engagement. Among them are Ari Adut, Jorge Coronado, Christian Inchauste, Arang Keshavarzian, Saahir Lone, Samir Lone, Oliver Lu, Morgann Paraskevas, Tamas Peterfalvy, Ashok Parameswaran, Rouzbeh Pirouz, Sverine Boumati, Sven Vahsen, and Adam Webb.

Princeton Universitys political theory community was the fertile ground for my initial work on this book. Without the guidance and support from George Kateb, Maurizio Viroli, and Stephen Macedo, the task would not have been completed. I owe them immeasurable thanks for academic and personal encouragement in climbing the mountain and seeing the peaks and valleys of graduate school. Patrick Deneen, Amy Gutmann, Alexander Nehamas, Tamsin Shaw, Paul Sigmund, and Peter Singer were also vital in my progress in the writing of the manuscript out of the basis of a dissertation. I also wish to thank all my former teammates of the Princeton United FC soccer club, without whom Princeton would have been a much less interesting place.

Outside of Princeton, my experience at the University of Chicago and the courses I took at Harvard University formed my interest in Machiavelli and Nietzsche. I owe this to Nathan Tarcov and Harvey Mansfield. Last but not least, Don Moon at Wesleyan University was the person who most inspired me to pursue the paths of political theory as a naive (or idealistic?) undergraduate.

Several sections of the book were significantly affected by my experiences teaching gifted undergraduates at Williams, Vassar, and Hunter colleges. I also owe great thanks to my colleagues at Texas A&M University where this book was completed in the Winter of 2006. In particular, Cary Nederman, Lisa Ellis, and Ed Portis showed critical yet warm and instructive support. Christie Maloyed, Sofya Treskova, and Mary Beth Sullivan provided excellent research assistance. All errors are my responsibility.
