Does Machiavelli rehabilitate the ancient virtues of the classical Greeks and Romans against the Christian critique? Machiavelli is a restorer of something old and forgotten. Do his arguments in favor of republican regimes mean that his republicanism is of a civic humanist variety whose roots are to be found in classical antiquity?

I donĀ“t think Machiavelli was a renewer of th eGreek, he tried to find a new theory of the state, and he was more a historical mind then a philosophical mind in my view. thanks arash
