Description
'Men are infamous and detestable who are destroyers of religion, squanderers of kingdoms and republics, and enemies of the virtues.'
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) is one of the most influential modern political thinkers. His works are still passionately discussed in the intellectual community and continue to generate new visions of political action.
Against the trite commonplace that Machiavelli was a teacher of evil who justified political immorality, Maurizio Viroli shows, on the basis of a rigorous study of his texts, that Machiavelli taught instead the best way to attain true glory through political action and that his works were inspired by a profound love of republican liberty.
Extracts are taken from the whole corpus of Machiavelli's works, including personal letters.
