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

Fortunate is the kingdom ruled by a virtuous prince virtue here defined as being able to pursue his own interests without conflict. In Machiavelli's view virtue is that which increases power; vice is that which decreases it.

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

He did it with this book when he asserted that The Prince president dictator prime minister etc. does not have to be concerned with ethics as long as their motivation is to protect the state. It is this questionable belief that in many ways had lead to the modern world as we know it.

Written during the turbulent Italian Renaissance this work examines leadership strategy and the sometimes ruthless realities of governance. Still widely studied today The Prince remains essential reading for those interested in politics history and human nature."Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli 1469 - 1527 was an Italian Renaissance historian politician diplomat philosopher humanist and writer. He has often been called the founder of modern political science. He was for many years a senior official in the Florentine Republic with responsibilities in diplomatic and military affairs. He also wrote comedies carnival songs and poetry. His personal correspondence is renowned in the Italian language. He was secretary to the Second Chancery of the Republic of Florence from 1498 to 1512 when the Medici were out of power. He wrote his most renowned work The Prince Il Principe in 1513. ""Machiavellianism"" is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described most famously in The Prince. Machiavelli described immoral behavior such as dishonesty and killing innocents as being normal and effective in politics. He even seemed to endorse it in some situations. The book itself gained notoriety when some readers claimed that the author was teaching evil and providing ""evil recommendations to tyrants to help them maintain their power."" The term ""Machiavellian"" is often associated with political deceit deviousness and realpolitik. On the other hand many commentators such as Baruch Spinoza Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot have argued that Machiavelli was actually a Republican even when writing The Prince and his writings were an inspiration to Enlightenment proponents of modern democratic political philosophy."</p> Wildside Press hardcover
