Description
Whoever thinks they can rely solely on strength does not deserve to wield the scepter. The key work of the chancellor of the Florentine Republic contains political reflections on the mechanisms of power. It defines the principles of pragmatic politics focused on solving the specific problems of the author's time. Machiavelli considered a unified state governed by a wise ruler to be the ideal, one who should not hesitate to use any means necessary to ensure the welfare of the country. The concept of dual morality – private morality and the morality of power – led to him being labeled a cynic, but he was more concerned with a shift in the understanding of governance: the ruler is no longer a servant of God, but a servant of the state, which is a necessary prerequisite for the development of Western democracy.
