جذور المكيافلية في كليلة ودمنة

This scholarly work explores the Machiavellian principles and political philosophy found within the classic text Kalila and Dimna. The book analyzes how this ancient collection of animal fables contains early roots of political realism and power dynamics that would later be associated with Machiavellian thought. Key features: • Academic analysis of Kalila and Dimna • Exploration of political philosophy • Study of power dynamics in classic literature • Comparison with Machiavellian principles • Historical examination of political thought The book examines how the animal stories and moral tales in Kalila and Dimna serve as allegories for political strategy and statecraft, predating Machiavelli's famous work 'The Prince' by centuries. It reveals how these ancient Indian-origin stories, translated into Arabic and Persian, contained sophisticated observations about power, leadership, and governance that parallel many of Machiavelli's later insights. The analysis helps bridge Eastern and Western political philosophical traditions.
