Sommario/riassunto

This volume is an attempt to rethink Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the most challenging political thinkers in the history of European political thought. In 2013, we will mark 500 years since Machiavelli wrote his puzzling letter to Lorenzo de’ Medici, Il Principe . This book is an endeavor to cover some of the most complex aspects of Machiavelli’s life and work.
