Machiavelli was a follower of Tsun Zu?...

Stanislaw · 01-20-2005, 12:12 PM

I don't believe so.

subterranean · 01-25-2005, 08:38 PM

I was referring to the title...and believed that Tsun Zu came first before Maciavelli

Stanislaw · 01-27-2005, 11:42 AM

Ahh, yes, Tsun Zu (sp.) did come before Niccolo, but I think the two are unrelated.

subterranean · 01-27-2005, 07:36 PM

Maybe he got inspired in a way?

Nevermind

Ha, we have "The LOST Art of War" on our shelves...never opened it, as with many of our books, but this one is by... ah! Sun Tzu.

(Different spelling, or different author?)

There have been many interpretations of his name (some even claiming that he was not a real person but a name underwhich the works were collected) I guess it be a bit like shakespeare, always some controversy!

Soooo.......what? Machiavelii re-wrote 'The Art of War', a colection of ancient strategies older than most european societies? Or are you talking about a completely different book who's title is purposely copied by Machiavelli (for literary reasons I suppose) FROM these ancient manuscripts??

.....I remain........confused.

(Statesman) Machiavelli....1469-1527 A.D.

(Manuscript)'The Art of War'...... pre-500 B.C.
