Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince in Modern Interpretations: Problems and Prospects of Research
Abstract
500 years have passed since Niccolò Machiavelli had written The Prince and had forever changed the character and essence of political philosophy. In this work he touches upon almost every aspect of modern political thought. We will consider the most essential modern trends of Machiavellian study, identify the problems modern interpreters of Machiavellian philosophy face, and try to depict the contemporary image of Niccolò Machiavelli. Is he a «great patriot of his country» or a «teacher of evil»?
