Synopsis

The very name Machiavelli has become a byword for evil. In The Prince he offered advice on how to rule successfully. His ideas were devious and unscrupulous - yet controversy still rages as to whether he was a political realist or dangerously amoral. The Virgin Philosophers series cover the lives and ideas of the major philosophers, attempting to clarify the mysteries of philosophy for the general reader.
