About this ebook

Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (Firenze, 3 maggio 1469 – Firenze, 21 giugno 1527) è stato uno storico, filosofo, scrittore, politico e drammaturgo italiano.
Considerato, come Leonardo da Vinci, un uomo rinascimentale, nonchè figura controversa nella Firenze dei Medici, è noto come il fondatore della scienza politica moderna, i cui principi base emergono dalla sua opera più famosa, Il Principe, nella quale è esposto il concetto di ragion di stato e la concezione ciclica della storia. Questa definizione – secondo molti – descrive in maniera compiuta sia l'uomo sia il letterato più del termine machiavellico, entrato peraltro nel linguaggio corrente ad indicare un'intelligenza acuta e sottile, ma anche spregiudicata[1] e, proprio per questa connotazione negativa del termine, negli ambiti letterari viene preferito il termine "machiavelliano".

Niccolò Machiavelli

Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian politician, diplomat, founding father of political science, and author of the preeminent political treatise, The Prince. Born in Florence, Italy, Machiavelli held many government posts over his lifetime and often took leading roles in important diplomatic missions. During his time visiting other countries and nation states, Machiavelli was exposed to the politics of figures like Ceasare Borgia and King Louis XII, experiences which would inform his writings on state-building and politics. Machiavelli’s political career came to an abrupt end when the Medici overthrew Florence, and he was held as a prisoner under the new regime. Tortured for a short time, he was released without admitting to any crime or treason. At this point, Machiavelli retired and turned to intellectual and philosophical pursuits, producing his two major works, The Prince and Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy. He died in 1527 at the age of 58.
