Dominique Pagani treats Machiavelli as a typical figure of the Renaissance12. What he mainly retains is a shift: with him, the relation of man to man becomes the essential relation and takes the place of the relation to God3. The relationship between human beings, and politics, then become fundamental4. He comes back to this point several times, from 2016 to 2020, in sessions devoted to Hegel and the Phenomenology of Spirit, where he presents Hegel as Machiavelli's first modern reader13. Elsewhere, he cites Machiavelli on lying in politics5. Speaking about Adotevi and Négritude et négrologues, he relates an anecdote: Sankara borrows all of Adotevi's Machiavellis6. In 2023, Machiavelli appears only in a list of Renaissance figures2. The passages remain brief: he does not read any work by Machiavelli closely and uses him mainly as a historical landmark in the move toward a way of thinking centred on the human and the political.
