Book Companion
The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian
diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. The Prince
is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern
philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the
effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract
ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic
and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider
politics and ethics. The descriptions within The Prince have the
general theme of accepting that the aims of princes—such as
glory and survival—can justify the use of immoral means to
achieve those ends.
