In this sense, conflict was understood as an instrument of the rupture of every form, institution and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNiccolò Machiavelli is the first in our tradition to think about the productivity of political conflict—its capacity, on the model of ancient Rome, to construct new orders, institutions and forms of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Marchesi offers an original reading of Machiavellian thought as well as a critique of some of the most influential contemporary theories of conflict, including Foucault, Schmitt, Arendt, Lacan and Althusser.
