The present article is an attempt to study the book "The Redeeming Prince": The Meaning of Machiavelli's Masterpiece”, by Maurizio Viroli, an Italian professor of political science at the US academia, which is published by Elmi va Farhangi Publication under their "collection of Thoughts and Thinkers" in 1398. In their critique of the book, the authors have tried to use the basis of a particular phenomenological method. Accordingly, and based on the fundamental belief that any critique/interpretation of a text or system of thought is fundamentally related to the critic/commentator's experience of the text or system of thought understudy, they have approached the study of the structure of experience from a phenomenological perspective. After this, they have tried to examine Viroli's text on the basis of this method and to find out how the author of the book has focused on reorganizing the meaning of Machiavelli's "The Prince" on the basis of a new understanding of the Idea of Prince as a redeemer.

This article is dedicated to the evaluation of Spinoza’s TTP. TTP is one of the most valuable treatises of the Enlightenment and represents the controversy of the old and the new in seventeenth-century Europe. The treatise includes the historical hermeneutics of Scripture and represents Spinoza’s republican political philosophy. The theological chapters of TTP, as well as its political chapters, contain topics that can be useful to the Iranian society involved in religious politics and political religion. Spinozist studies in Iran have not been significant compared to Anglo-Saxon, Jewish, and French traditions. These studies in the form of authorship and translation have become more serious from 2010 onward. The translation of TTP by Ali Ferdowsi in Iran is a good endeavor in itself, but there are also criticisms. For several reasons, Ferdowsi’s translation cannot be considered the end of the road: abstruse and unfamiliar language, unequal equivalents, misplacement of some sentences and words, and especially exclusive reliance on Silverthorne-Israel translation and lack of direct reference to Latin and other versions of this treatise can be enumerated as the pitfalls.

Quentin Skinner accompanied by a group of writers and professors of so called Cambridge School have had an undeniable role in critical rereading of history of European thought and reprinting some of the classical texts of modern political thought. Skinner in his enormous hermeneutical researches, linking the contextualist approach to the intentionalist view, shows that the established values of today life style and our thinking about that values reflecting a set of selections that we have made through the different historical times and possibilities. The contentious history of modern concept of liberty is such a case. Skinner puts the theory of civic liberty against the liberalism believing that the ideological triumph of liberalism in nineteen degraded the republican cause of liberty. The republican tradition is one of the Skinner`s fields of archeological rediscovery, and surveying the trajectory of Roman political thought and analyzing historical roots of neo-Roman theory of Liberty is a part of the project of rediscovering the English republican tradition. Then in a reductionary historicism, Skinner`s archeological hermeneutic is an English one, and his research program focused on the modern British history of liberty. His conservative archeology couldn’t go beyond a mere historiography of thought and it`s difficult to find in his project a critical position and also a philosophical examination in the field of politics. Skinner is a conservative Foucauldian.
