Niccolo Machiavelli, who lived from 1469-1527, was an Italian diplomat, author, historian, and philosopher. "The Prince" is a 16th century political treatise written as a guide to new princes and royals. The general theme is of accepting that the aims of princes---such as glory and survival---can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those goals. The printed version was not published until five years after Machiavelli's death with the permission of the Medici Pope Clement VII. "The Prince" is sometimes claimed to be the first works of modern philosophy. The term "Machiavellian" is still used in a pejorative connotation. 185 pages. I offer combined shipping.
