The Prince
87.40
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise written by Italian diplomat and
political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and
royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes –
such as glory and survival – can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those
ends.
Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for
princes style, it was generally agreed as being especially innovative. This is partly
because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that
had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy
and other works of Renaissance literature.
The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy,
especially modern political philosophy, in which the “effectual” truth is taken to be
more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict
with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those
concerning politics and ethics.
Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's
works, and the one most responsible for bringing the word “Machiavellian” into
usage as a pejorative. It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of
