20179781684112876-2025Stanford Inversiones Spa 2017. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Niccolò Machiavelli</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Stanford Inversiones Spa</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781684112876</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2017</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 82</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> As a young Florentine envoy to the courts of France and the Italian principalities Niccolò Machiavelli was able to observe firsthand the lives of people strongly united under one powerful ruler. His fascination with that political rarity and his intense desire to see the Medici family assume a similar role in Italy provided the foundation for his "primer for princes." In this classic guide to acquiring and maintaining political power Machiavelli used a rational approach to advise prospective rulers developing logical arguments and alternatives for a number of potential problems among them governing hereditary monarchies dealing with colonies and the treatment of conquered peoples. Refreshing in its directness yet often disturbing in its cold practicality The Prince sets down a frighteningly pragmatic formula for political fortune. Starkly relevant to the political upheavals of the 20th century this calculating prescription for power remains today nearly 500 years after it was written a timely and startling lesson in the practice of autocratic rule that continues to be much read and studied by students scholars and general readers as well.</p> Stanford Inversiones Spa hardcover

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Niccolò Machiavelli Shelly Frasier</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Tantor Media Inc</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781605146744</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2008</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> The Prince has long been both praised and reviled for its message of moral relativism and political expediency. Although a large part is devoted to the mechanics of gaining and staying in power Machiavelli's end purpose is to maintain a just and stabile government. He is not ambiguous in stating his belief that committing a small cruelty to avert a larger is not only justifiable but required of a just ruler. Machiavelli gives a vivid portrayal of his world in the chaos and tumult of early 16th century Florence Italy and greater Europe. He uses both his contemporary political situation and that of the classical period to illustrate his precepts of statecraft.</p> Tantor Media Inc hardcover

20169781530290963-2025CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2016. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Niccolò Machiavelli</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781530290963</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2016</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 96</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> "The Prince" Italian: "Il Principe" is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513 using a Latin title "De Principatibus" "About Principalities". However the printed version was not published until 1532 five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII but "long before then in fact since the first appearance of the 'Prince' in manuscript controversy had swirled about his writings".Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the "mirrors for princes" style it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is only partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin a practice which had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's "Divine Comedy" and other works of Renaissance literature."The Prince" is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy especially modern political philosophy in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics.Although it is relatively short the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage as a pejorative. It also helped make "Old Nick" an English term for the devil and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer "Discourses on Livy" which was written a few years later. In its use of near-contemporary Italians as examples of people who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which "The Prince" has been compared to is the "Life of Castruccio Castracani".</p> CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform hardcover
