Niccol- Machiavelli is arguably the most famous and controversial figure in the history of political thought and one of the most iconic names of the Renaissance.
The Prince remains his best-known work, and is the first place that Machiavelli presented his fundamental belief that rulers must always be prepared to do evil if good will come of it. With great clarity, force, and passion, Machiavelli here explores these dark political realities and throws down a challenge which subsequent writers on statecraft have found impossible to ignore.
Quentin Skinner's revised edition offers a lucid analysis of Machiavelli's text as a response both to the world of Florentine politics, and as an attack on the advice-books for princes published by a number of his contemporaries. As well as a thoroughly revised introduction, this new edition features an improved timeline of the key events in Machiavelli's life, and a fully updated bibliography.
