THE PRINCE (Italian: Il Principe) is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of the Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings." Although it was written as if...

Der Furst wurde um 1513 von Niccolo Machiavelli verfasst. Die papstliche Druckgenehmigung erschien am 4. Januar 1532 postum. Vorher kursierten Abschriften des Werkes. Es gilt neben den Discorsi, das Machiavelli parallel zum Furstenbuch schrieb, als sein Hauptwerk. Das Furstenbuch lobt den neuen Fursten, die Discorsi pladieren fur eine Republik. Obwohl die beiden Werke eine unterschiedliche Ausrichtung haben, geht es beiden politischen Werken Machiavellis um dieselbe Grundfrage: Wie kann man in einer feindlichen politischen Umwelt erfolgreich sein, namentlich die Macht erwerben, sie erhalten...

Nicolo Machiavelli was born at Florence on 3rd May 1469. He was the second son of Bernardo di Nicolo Machiavelli, a lawyer of some repute, and of Bartolommea di Stefano Nelli, his wife. Both parents were members of the old Florentine nobility.
His life falls naturally into three periods, each of which singularly enough constitutes a distinct and important era in the history of Florence. His youth was concurrent with the greatness of Florence as an Italian power under the guidance of Lorenzo de' Medici, Il Magnifico. The downfall of the Medici in...

"Machiavellianism" is a widely used negative term to characterize unscrupulous politicians of the sort Machiavelli described most famously in The Prince. Machiavelli described immoral behavior, such as dishonesty and killing innocents, as being normal and effective in politics.

An often misunderstood book that was at one time thought to be an evil book, The Prince is a take on how Machiavelli believed that a prince of a nation could take and hold power. Many royals feared the common people at the time of this text being written and Machiavelli responded to his princes fears with how he should rule. Other writings reveal that Nicolo never believed this to be the way a prince should actually treat those around him.

The Prince is a political treatise written in the early sixteenth century by Nicolas Machiavelli, the Florentine politician and writer, which shows how to become prince and remain, analyzing examples of ancient history and of Italian history at the time. Because the book did not give moral advice to the prince as the classical treatises addressed to kings, and instead he advised in some cases actions contrary to good morals, he was often accused of immorality, leading the adjective "Machiavellian." However, the book has had a great posterity and was praised and analyzed by many thinkers....
