Resumo: By dynamically adapting good examples, accommodating these to the needs imposed by circumstances, Machiavelli reverberates multiple uses of imitatio from ancient and Renaissance authors. Imitation renovates ancient Virtù in civil practices and attitudes, providing encouragement for fulfilling political actions and pedagogical practices, as Machiavelli's role as secretary of Florence and his political, historical and literary writings attest. Thus, after reviewing the notion of imitatio, specifically in antiquity and renaissance, Machiavelli's arguments about the possibility of humans reaching Virtù are contextualized in the Discorsi, Prince, in Florentine Histories and the Art of War, specifically in the proposals to imitate the appropriate actions. Hence, investigations and analyzes of the past produces utility and delight, enhancing the flavor of human actions. Consequently, Machiavelli's writings assure the impossibility of a predetermined definition among possible multiple options (ambiguity) as well as support the possibility to simultaneously choose two, apparently antagonistic, perspectives (ambivalence).

A imitação deve reavivar as práticas civis e as atitudes de Virtù, fornecendo ânimo para a realização das ações políticas e das práticas pedagógicas, conforme a atuação como secretário de Florença e seus escritos políticos, históricos e literários salientam. Desse modo, ao revisar a noção de imitatio, especificamente na antiguidade e na renascença, contextualizam-se os argumentos de Maquiavel sobre a possibilidade dos humanos alcançarem a Virtù pela imitação das ações adequadas nos Discorsi, no Príncipe, nas Histórias Florentinas e na Arte da Guerra.  Ao propor investigações e análises do passado que produzam utilidade e deleite, realçando o sabor das ações humanas, os escritos Maquiavelianos realçam a impossibilidade de uma definição pré-determinada sobre quais opções devam ser usadas (ambiguidade) e sustentam a possibilidade de duas perspectivas, aparentemente antagônicas, serem escolhidas simultaneamente (ambivalência).Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-06-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/227610.31977/grirfi.v21i2.2276Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 2 (2021); 444-4652178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2276/1317Copyright (c) 2021 Jean Felipe de Assishttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Assis, Jean Felipe2021-06-11T13:38:26Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2276Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-06-11T13:38:26Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
