Description

"The Prince" is considered one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially in modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is considered more important than any abstract ideal. It is also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of time on how to consider politics and ethics.
