Author: Niccolo Machiavelli
He was an Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist who wrote this book around 1513. In 1512 the Medici’s came to power and he lost his post in Florence.
He wrote this in a possible effort to win them over and get back into politics. It is now the world’s most wellknown political book, considered the first written on modern political philosophy, where effective truth is more important than abstract ideals. Therefore, immoral means are acceptable if used to achieve the aims of princes and politicians.
This may have been necessary at the time, but people like Diderot and Jean-Jacques Rousseau considered The Prince to be more of a satire. Whatever its purpose, it is one of the most brilliant books ever written.
