Anti-Machiavel

Voltaire's critique of Machiavelli's ideas presents a sharp contrast to the latter's views on power and governance, particularly challenging the use of cunning and deceit in politics. He advocates for a more ethical and moral approach, emphasizing justice, compassion, and truth. This work marks one of Voltaire's early contributions to political philosophy and has significantly influenced contemporary political thought. The book is a facsimile reprint of the original, preserving its cultural significance despite potential imperfections.
