Description
"Wise, witty, razor-sharp" Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve: How the Renaissance BeganInterested in Machiavelli?That may be a bad sign. We always turn to Machiavelli at crisis points in history - he is the philosopher for dark times.
But what do we really know about this man? Is there more to his work than that perennial term for political evil, Machiavellianism?In this concise, elegant book, Patrick Boucheron undoes many assumptions about this most complex of figures.
By honing in on Machiavelli's role in the political life of his own time, Boucheron shows how his thought remains essential to understanding not only how authoritarianism works, but also how it can be fought.
