Discover the complex legacy of Niccolò Machiavelli in this insightful “Very Short Introduction.” Quentin Skinner explores Machiavelli’s life and works, including “The Prince” and “The Discourses,” challenging his reputation for duplicity. Learn how Machiavelli’s political theory, deeply rooted in classical Roman thought, argued for leaders to act virtuously while being prepared to “not be good” when necessity demands. This edition features new material on Machiavelli’s dialogue with ancient moralists like Cicero and Livy, revealing his philosophy on maintaining power through any necessary means. Perfect for readers seeking a concise yet profound understanding of one of history’s most debated political thinkers. A must-read for students of political science and history from The Bookish Owl.
