About this ebook

Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of Machiavelli's political treatise entitled, "The Prince" (1532). The work notably advocates the power of human action and free will – unusual ethical concepts in the political landscape of Florence that customarily favoured religion and ancient philosophies to explain society’s issues. Published after his death, it is commonly believed that Machiavelli wrote “The Prince” as a guide for rulers, namely Lorenzo Medici, who was not in power at the time. Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was a Florentine politician, philosopher and historian. An influential figure during the Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli was instrumental in the development of Western political science.

Niccolò Machiavelli

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian diplomat, philosopher and writer during the Renaissance era. Machiavelli led a politically charged life, often depicting his political endorsements in his writing. He led his own militia, and believed that violence made a leader more effective. Though he held surprising endorsements, Machiavelli is considered to be the father of political philosophy and political science, studying governments in an unprecedented manner that has forever shaped the field.

    The actual content of the prince I found to be useful and engaging. However, this specific publication has a foreward and afterward that provide little in the way of additional value. The afterward especially was written much like a college essay.
