Machiavelli lived in Renaissance Italy in a time marked by violent hatred between the Italian city states. His masterpiece, though often misunderstood in recent times, was highly esteemed by his contemporaries. Machiavelli was a patriot whose primary wish was to offer insight into his Prince, Lorenzo de Medici, which might help solve some of the senseless conflict in his country. His genius stemmed from an ability to see people as they are, not as they should be. Thus he sought to develop a political system based on the Biblical idea of man as inherently sinful and in need of correction.
“It must be understood that a prince…cannot observe all of those virtues for which men are reputed good, because it is often necessary to act against mercy, against faith, against humanity, against frankness, against religion, in order to preserve the state.” –Machiavelli |
