About Machiavelli
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian diplomat, philosopher, and historian best known for his political treatise, "The Prince," which offers pragmatic advice on political power and leadership. Often regarded as the father of modern political science, Machiavelli's work departs from the idealism of earlier political thought, emphasizing the necessity of realism and sometimes ruthless tactics to maintain authority and achieve stability in governance. His ideas continue to provoke debate and influence political theory to this day.
