Resumen
Este artículo toma como objeto de análisis una biografía que Nicolás Maquiavelo dedicó a un condotiero de la ciudad Lucca que tiene por nombre La vita de Castruccio Castracani. A partir de allí se aborda el sentido de Castracani como exemplum del príncipe nuevo y sus virtudes para explorar hasta qué punto sus argumentos habilitan una lectura diferente de la relación entre el liderazgo personal y la democracia. Tomando como eje un texto de Maquiavelo generalmente ignorado por la crítica teórico política especializada, proponemos recuperar el concepto de gobierno popular. Esta noción no sólo habilita una alternativa a la dicotomía entre democracia liberal y populismo sino también opera como una forma política democrática legitimada en la novedad encarnada en una figura personal, siempre dentro de la matriz republicana maquiaveliana.
This paper's object of analysis is a biography dedicated by Machiavelli to a condottieri of the city of Lucca, a book with the title La vita de Castruccio Castracani. Based on this work, the main objective of the paper is to study Castracani as an exemplum of the new prince and its virtù, and also to explore the possibility of making a different lecture of the relationship between personal leadership and democracy. Thus, out of this work of Machiavelli, generally ignored by specialists, we suggest to retrieve the concept of popular government. This notion is not only an alternative to the traditional dicotomy between liberal democracy and populism, but it also acts as form for a democracy that is legitimized in the novelty incarnated by a personal figure, always in the republican matrix of Machiavelli.
