Summary
We continue our examination of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" as the political theorist discusses the negative impact that maintaining virtuous behavior can have on a ruler. This is where Machiavelli earns his reputation as a teacher of evil. We will also look at how war is the central duty around which the philosopher believes the office of prince revolves.
