The Discourses (English Edition) . Machiavelli, Niccolò and Bernard Crick:

leicht berieben und bestoßen, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly rubbed and bumped, otherwise perfect condition - Few figures in intellectual history have proved as notorious and ambiguous as Niccolo Machiavelli. But while his treatise The Prince made his name synonymous with autocratic ruthlessness and cynical manipulation, The Discourses ( c. 1517 ) shows a radically different outlook on the world of politics. In this carefully argued commentary on Livy's history of republican Rome, Machiavelli proposed a system of government that would uphold civic freedom and security by instilling the virtues of active citizenship, and that would also encourage citizens to put the needs of the state above selfish, personal interests.
