ABSTRACT
This article analyzes the basis of the prudential method of political analysis developed by 16th century Florentine statesman and writer Francesco Guicciardini. According to the article, the prudential method is based on an analytical distinction between "substantial diversities" and "accidental diversities" in human things, allowing the prudent analyst to weave arguments (necessary or probable, respectively) for reality, armed with discrezione and a "penetrating gaze" - the result of a combination of "natural prudence", experience in public affairs, knowledge of "ancient and modern history", and practical reason. The method constitutes the underpinnings for Guicciardini's reflections on political decision-making and possibilities for transforming the reggimento (government) of the city of Florence.
Dans cet article, on examine les fondements de la méthode "prudentielle" d'analyse de la politique développée par Francesco Guicciardini, homme d'état et écrivain florentin du XVIe siècle. On montre que cette méthode part d'une distinction analytique entre "diversités substantielles" et "diversités accidentelles" des choses humaines, laquelle permet de tisser des arguments nécessaires ou probables, respectivement, à l'analyste prudent de la réalité, doté de discrezione et d'un "regard pénétrant" - fruit de l'association entre "prudence naturelle", expérience dans les affaires publiques, large connaissance des "histoires anciennes et modernes" et raison pratique. Un telle méthode constitue la base des réflexions de Guicciardini en ce qui concerne la prise de décisions politiques et les possibilités de transformation du reggimento (gouvernement) de la ville de Florence.
