Machiavelli is often misunderstood as a teacher of evil due to his book "The Prince" which advises rulers to prioritize power and stability over morality. However, some argue that he was simply describing the political realities of his time rather than promoting immoral behavior. Ultimately, interpretations of Machiavelli's work vary, and he continues to be a controversial figure in political philosophy.
