THE GARMENTS OF COURT AND PALACE: MACHIAVELLI AND THE WORLD HE MADE (OLD TITLE: MACHIAVELLI’S THE PRINCE)
Book ID/图书代码： 00970008B22375
English Summary/英文概要： The Prince, originally published in 1532, was written by the Florentine public servant Niccol?? Machiavelli. It was intended to serve as a guide to establishing a monarchy and maintaining absolute power over a people. It starkly propounded the idea that the prince should be willing to do anything necessary to maintain power over people, however morally abhorrent. Machiavellia??s proposals alarmed as well as inspired readers, but the booka??s significance was clear even then, and it is now widely regarded as the single most influential book on politics a?? and particularly the politics of power a?? ever written. In this groundbreaking study, Philip Bobbitt explains the history and importance of The Prince. From his particular viewpoint as a political strategist and an expert in constitutional law, he explains why Machiavellia??s work has retained its place at the heart of international diplomacy over the last 500 years.
