What was he famous for Niccolo Machiavelli?

Answer 1

Niccolo Machiavelli is one of the best known political thinkers of Europe. He was an Italian at a time, early 1500s, when Italy consisted of small independent states. Macchiavelli was a public servant of the Republic of Florence, where his family had a certain reputation for public service and moderate wealth. After his day's work he went to his study and contemplated the history of political ideas. He was familiar with the works of Aristotle and developed an interest in the history of the Roman Republic. His idea was to discover how the Romans had achieved greatness and contrast this with the problems besetting Florence. Revolution and violence were typical of his lifetime as the small independent states were overwhelmed by northern nations, France and Austria, the Moslems and corruption in the Papacy. Setting aside his ideals he wrote a slim book, The Prince, for which he is best known. It reflects with grim humour Macchiavelli's assessment of the political lessons of the day. Forget ideals and achieve political advantage over your rivals by any means, bribery, violence and deceit. He advises The Prince, of the title, not to concern himself with the wellbeing of his people or his own reputation, but just to secure his power. This was contrary to the ideals of government formed by the Greeks, Romans and Christian tradition, which Macchiavelli shared. By painting an exaggerated picture of contemporary politics he hoped to bring to light certain principles of justice and decency that cannot be ignored in healthy states. The book was widely translated and some readers, who knew little of its author, imagined that he endorsed the political strategies that appeared in it. From this he was for long mistaken as the father of political intrigue. More influential among political thinkers, such as Thomas Hobbes, were his depictions of the state as an organic being with its own psychology, public opinion, and a sense of securing itself against an uncertain future.

Machiavelli is also known for his belief in pragmatism and realism in politics.

Answer 3

Machiavelli has been called the brilliant creator of modern political science by some, and a cynical beast by others; he is considered the originator of the idea of a political pragmatism that says "the end justifies the means." Either way, his 1513 book The Prince is a landmark work in the history of political power. A high-level statesman in Florence (1498-1512), he travelled on diplomatic missions throughout Europe before he was exiled by the Medicis. Imprisoned for a time, he later retired to his private estate and concentrated on studying and writing. A rumination on the acquisition and uses of power, The Prince remains a mainstay of college bookstores everywhere.
