Machiavelli's Views on Religion and Politics

Více o knize

Focusing on the nature of political power, this influential work challenges traditional views by examining how power is obtained, maintained, and expanded without reliance on moral or religious standards. Machiavelli's analysis marks a significant shift in political philosophy, positioning the pursuit of power as an end in itself. By isolating political strategy from ethical considerations, he offers a pragmatic approach to governance that has shaped modern political thought.
