Niccolo Machiavelli

More about the book

Machiavelli's insights into moral conflicts reveal a sophisticated understanding of the complexities faced by those in public office. The book argues that rather than promoting political autonomy, he addresses the challenges of role-differentiated morality, highlighting the tension between public duties and conventional ethical standards. By placing his ideas within historical context, it showcases Machiavelli's ahead-of-his-time perspective on the moral dilemmas inherent in governance.
