Description

All the ideas of the famous provocateur philosopher under one cover!

The writer’s best-known work became the treatise “The Prince,” originally published in Russia under the titles “The Prince” and “The Ruler.” Machiavelli developed a doctrine of a consistently secular state, free from the moral code of the Church.

He believed that in the struggle to strengthen the state, any means are permissible: violence, deception, betrayal. Later, the term “Machiavellianism” came to mean a policy that disregards the laws of moral conduct. However, today many of the author’s statements are perceived as self-evident—having found their embodiment in the history of the 20th century.

The audiobook also includes the brilliant treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli “On the Art of War,” which stunned contemporaries with its harsh and practical approach not only to military tactics, but also to strategy.
