Abstract :For many commentators, modernity is the triumph of the eye over the ear, of the visual over the auditory. In other words, modernity is, among many different components, the establishment of a new regime of seeing. This is one of the reasons why the beginnings of modernity are sought in the Renaissance. In the Renaissance period, two distinct themes explain the emergence of visuality in modern thought: Perspective art and Machiavellian thought. Both perspective and Machiavellian thought have been considered as the roots of modernity. Drawing on an interdisciplinary encounter between art theory and political theory, perspective and Machiavelli, this article examines the emergence of visuality in Machiavellian thought in terms of a dialogue with perspective, but underlines the differences between these two conceptions and argues that Machiavellian thought proposes a politics beyond perspective.
