| Summary, etc. |
The Prince was written in 1513 but published only in 1532, after Machiavelli's death. It was written at a time of political conflict, violence, instability and intrigue; when Italy was repeatedly conquered and controlled by foreigners. It was meant to be a practical guide to the Italian leader, Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici.<br/>Highly controversial, the book elaborated on political behavior and justified the need for a prince to behave immorally on occasion. Machiavelli's belief that politics had its own rules so stunned readers taht a new term came to be used for political manoeuvers marked by cunning and duplicity-Machiavellian. Niccolo Machiavelli-political philosopher, historian, writer, statesman and diplomat-was born on 3 May 1469 in Florence, Italy. His works have influenced several schools of thought, specially in the field of politics |
