Abstract
Para la tradición retórica, que Javier Roiz recupera para la reflexión democrática contemporánea, el pensamiento y el gobierno no pueden entenderse sin asumir la contingencia y el descontrol. Igualmente, para Niccolò Machiavelli el papel de Fortuna es central. Su presencia en la vida de las personas no impide, sin embargo, que podamos aprender a gobernarnos. Machiavelli también le da mucha importancia a la capacidad para acompasar nuestras acciones al tiempo y a las circunstancias cambiantes. Con ello, nos invita a entender la ciencia del gobierno como un saber que debe mantenerse ligado a lo concreto y lo cotidiano sin perder por ello su altura teórica.
According to rhetorical tradition, which Javier Roiz recovers for contemporary democratic reflection, thought and government cannot be understood without assuming contingency and lack of control. Similarly for Niccolò Machiavelli the role of Fortuna is central. Its presence in people live does not prevent, however, that we can learn to govern ourselves. Machiavelli also attached great importance to the ability to keep pace with our actions at changing times and circumstances. This, invites us to understand the science of government as a knowledge linked to the concrete and every day without losing its theoretical height.
