1 май 1532 г. - The Prince - Machiavelli

Описание:

Machiavelli was a civic humanist, and originally he was a secretary to a governing body in Florence. However, he was imprisoned and tortured for plotting against the Medici family. He wrote The Prince, which was about the function of government. Machiavelli argued that a state should preserve order at any cost, even things such as brutality and manipulation. However, Machiavelli believed it was wrong for a ruler to manipulate the public for his own personal gain. Some suggest that Machiavelli’s works were satire, while others believe they should be taken seriously.
