But while his treatise The Prince made his name synonymous with autocratic ruthlessness and cynical manipulation The Discourses c.1517 shows a radically different outlook on the world of politics. In this carefully argued commentary on Livy's history of republican Rome Machiavelli proposed a system of government that would uphold civic freedom and security by instilling the virtues of active citizenship and that would also encourage citizens to put the needs of the state above selfish personal interests. Ambitious in scope but also clear-eyed and pragmatic The Discourses creates a modern theory of republic politics.For more than seventy years Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

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. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Niccolò Machiavelli</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Alter Yayinlari</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Paperback</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9786055465544</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2017</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Here is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince . . . a king . . . a president. When in 1512 Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical not idealistic. The Prince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values; his prince would be man and beast fox and lion. Today this small sixteenth-century masterpiece has become essential reading for every student of government and is the ultimate book on power politics.</p> Alter Yayinlari paperback

20089781605146744-2025Tantor Media Inc 2008. 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
