Nicolo Machiavelli: Power for Good or Bad 1513 AD - FLORENCE, ITALY Until Nicolo Machiavelli, writers about politics had been concerned primarily about how government should work. Machiavelli was concerned about how it actually does work. For 14 years Machiavelli was a bureaucrat and diplomat for the city-state of Florence, in Italy. He organized Florence's militia and was sent on diplomatic missions throughout Italy and other parts of Europe. And at every opportunity he watched great men to see how they kept and extended their power. In 1502 he was sent to Romagna as a representative to Cesare Borgia, whom he admired for his boldness, clever frauds and expert use of cruelty. But in 1512 the army of Pope Julius II took over Florence and restored the Medici family to its position of authority, and Machiavelli, a republican, was out of work. He retired to a farm near San Casciano to write letters pleading for a job and suggesting ways his skills could be used. One of those pleadings was "The Prince," a small book on political science he completed around 1513 and dedicated to Lorenzo Medici. He hoped Lorenzo would be impressed and offer him a job. But Lorenzo ignored it and him. But the world did not long ignore The Prince. It soon became an underground classic in Florence and later was published widely.

May 3 ~  One Change Art of War "One change l e a v e s the way o p e n for the introduction of o t h e r s ~ Niccolo Machiavelli Born on this day, Italian philosopher Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469-1527) is best known for writing The Prince (1513), a guide on how to rule a nation. The Renaissance advice on power and control , the infamous "end justifies the means" philosophy , inspired leaders from Napoleon to Hitler to Kissinger. "It is much safer for a prince to be feared than loved," Machiavelli said. A minister in the overthrown Florentine Government, Machiavelli faced a republic of corruption and greed. Forced out of office by the new regime, he wrote to offer Lorenzo de' Medici, the new ruler, advice on how to stay in power What makes a good prince, is not necessarily what makes a good human being Politics have no relation to morals," he said. While the political writers of the Middle Ages looked at politics idealistically, within the framework of religion, Machiavelli sought realism and observed human nature and the innate evil of men. The first person to study objectivity, he concluded, "It is better to be feared than loved , more prudent to be cruel."

Compì 23 missioni all'estero : tentò di creare milizie nazionali in Firenze , onde sottrarla alla soggezione dei condottieri.

THE PRINCE by Nicolo Machiavelli Chapter Six Hence it is that all armed prophets have conquered, and the unarmed ones have been destroyed. by Nicolo Machiavelli Written c. 1505 Translated by W. K. Marriott Dr. Rubel Shelly, leader of a modern Jubilee movement designed to change the old order and originate a new form of the church, appeals to Machiavelli to explain why change agents have less trouble taking over principalities and powers than in keeping them. CHAPTER VI Concerning New Principalities Which Are Acquired By One's Own Arms And Ability LET no one be surprised if, in speaking of entirely new principalities as I shall do, I adduce the highest examples both of prince and of state; because men, walking almost always in paths beaten by others, and following by imitation their deeds, are yet unable to keep entirely to the ways of others or attain to the power of those they imitate. A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men , and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savour of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach. "I say, therefore, that

THE PRINCE by Nicolo Machiavelli Chapter Three A new princes burdens those who have submitted to him with his soldiery and with infinite other hardships which he must put upon his new acquisition. by Nicolo Machiavelli Written c. 1505 Translated by W. K. Marriott CHAPTER III Concerning Mixed Principalities BUT the difficulties occur in a new principality. And firstly, if it be not entirely new, but is, as it were, a member of a state which, taken collectively, may be called composite, the changes arise chiefly from an inherent difficulty which there is in all new principalities; for men change their rulers willingly, hoping to better themselves and this hope induces them to take up arms against him who rules wherein they are deceived, because they afterwards find by experience they have gone from bad to worse. This follows also on another natural and common necessity, which always causes a new prince to burden those who have submitted to him with his soldiery and with infinite other hardships which he must put upon his new acquisition In this way you have enemies in all those whom you have injured in seizing that principality, and

76. The Prince By Nicolo Machiavelli THE PRINCE by nicolo machiavelli Written c. 1505 Translated by WKMarriott. CHAPTER I. How Many Kinds Of Principalities There Are http://www.tscm.com/theprince.html

THE PRINCE by Nicolo Machiavelli Written c. 1505 Translated by W. K. Marriott CHAPTER I How Many Kinds Of Principalities There Are And By What Means They Are Acquired ALL STATES, all powers, that have held and hold rule over men have been and are either republics or principalities. Principalities are either hereditary, in which the family has been long established; or they are new. The new are either entirely new, as was Milan to Francesco Sforza, or they are, as it were, members annexed to the hereditary state of the prince who has acquired them, as was the kingdom of Naples to that of the King of Spain. Such dominions thus acquired are either accustomed to live under a prince, or to live in freedom; and are acquired either by the arms of the prince himself, or of others, or else by fortune or by ability. CHAPTER II Concerning Hereditary Principalities I WILL leave out all discussion on republics, inasmuch as in another place I have written of them at length, and will address myself only to principalities. In doing so I will keep to the order indicated above, and discuss how such principalities are to be ruled and preserved. I say at once there are fewer difficulties in holding hereditary states, and those long accustomed to the family of their prince, than new ones; for it is sufficient only not to transgress the customs of his ancestors, and to deal prudently with circumstances as they arise, for a prince of average powers to maintain himself in his state, unless he be deprived of it by some extraordinary and excessive force; and if he should be so deprived of it, whenever anything sinister happens to the usurper, he will regain it.

Probably the political and social theoretician who is most misunderstood by people who have never read his work. I see from some of the other comments left here that this is, unsurprisingly, the case on RIA as well. Machiavelli understood clearly that without power, nothing can be achieved, either good or ill. He counselled the acquisition and exercise of power in a manner indicating that he understood power in a thoroughly practical way. He does not, as some attest, counsel tyranny for its own sake. His work has to be read in the context of the time, but having said that, many of his theories are applicable today.
