machiavelli:
'Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli' (3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527) was an
Italian philosopher, writer, and politician and is considered one of the main
founders of modern political science. As a Renaissance Man, he was a diplomat,
political philosopher, musician, poet and playwright, but, foremost, he was a
Civil Servant of the Florentine Republic. In June of 1498, after the ouster and
execution of Girolamo Savonarola, the Great Council elected Machiavelli as
Secretary to the second Chancery of the Republic of Florence.
Like Leonardo da Vinci, Machiavelli is considered a typical example of the
Renaissance Man. He is most famous for a short political treatise, The
Prince, a work of realist political theory, however, both it and the more
substantive republican Discourses on Livy went unpublished until 1532 —
after Machiavelli's death. Although he privately circulated The Prince among
friends, the only work he published in his life was The Art of War
(Machiavelli)|The Art of War, about high-military science. Since the sixteenth
century, generations of politicians remain attracted and repelled by the cynical
(realist) approach to power exposited in The Prince, the Discourses, and the
History[S. Anglo, Machiavelli: the first century (Oxford, 2005)].
Whatever his personal intentions (still debated today), his surname yielded the
modern political words "Machiavelli" (a person of acute and scheming
intelligence) and Machiavellianism (the use of cunning and deceitful tactics in
politics or in general).
