Book Description | The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli... Machiavelli was famous for the famous phrase, “The end justifies the means.” Although there are differences in the attribution of the phrase to him historically, he actually embraced that idea and this appears clearly in his writings. In his book The Prince, he tells the story of power, kings, and history, and how a ruler can preserve his kingdom by every means possible, no matter how immoral. Despite the strangeness of his ideas, he was in fact an exceptional thinker and mind in his time
The book The Prince is considered one of the most important and famous books in history written about political philosophy. It is distinguished by the simplicity of its language and its absolute boldness in describing the conditions of rule and kings and the way the authority deals with the people and politicizes them. Therefore, it was important to read it over time, to understand the game of politics and power. Whoever does not learn from the past cannot gain the future. Since its appearance in the sixteenth century, this little book has become a source of controversy, due to the cleverness, genius, and sophisticated ideas it contains. |
