Machiavelli's The Prince, a textbook still used today by students of both philosophy and politics, provides a detailed analysis of a successful political strategy. In it, he concentrates on those techniques a successful politician must use - without any regard to the moral justification of the means employed - if he is to achieve his political ends. Often criticized by detractors for its lack of moral tone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nevertheless, it is a work of great intellectual integrity and consistency.
Perhaps the best commentary is one from philosopher Bertrand Russell, who said that Machiavelli in his discourses has no time for tyrannies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because "tyrannies are less stable, more cruel and more unlike the governments held in esteem by a reasonably content population, a political condition which is Machiavelli's prime concern.

Machiavelli, famous for the quote "the ends justify the means," is remembered for his influential books on political theory and opinion, The Prince and Discourses. The Prince has been a textbook about the art of leadership, with amoral stand on how to secure and hold on to political power, a technique or strategy notoriously referred to as "Machiavellian."
The heart of Machiavelli's ideas consists in the manipulation of others, for power. To this end, although Machiavelli does not teach that virtue is good in itself, it can serve one's political ends to appear to be virtuous. This is perhaps the doctrine that has caused most outrage against Machiavellian thought. He is not concerned with weak and hypocritical sensibility. For if one's ends are good in themselves, all that matters is that one brings them about. In order to do this, Machiavelli argued that one must have more power than one's
As a political writer, although The Prince is unflinching in its teachings, it must be read alongside Machiavelli's longer and more balanced work, the Discourses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if his own views are to be fairly understood. In Discourses, he provides more detailed background as to what he thinks makes a good and successful constitution. His political ideal is the republic run by the Princes, leaders of the regions and principalities, but held in check by its citizens, ordinary and nobleman. He took Ancient Rome as a model.

The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, a figure of the Italian Renaissance and political scene, was born on May 3, 1469 in Florentine, Italy. He was an Italian diplomat, political philosopher, and writer. In June 1498, following the ousting and execution of Savonarola, the Great Council elected Machiavelli as the second chancellor of the Republic of Florence. He died on June 21, 1527.
Machiavelli considers how best a leader can achieve his ends once he has determined that the ends he has identified are worthwhile, that is, 'the ends justify the means.' The book is almost entirely practical, and hardly speculates on the rightness or wrongness of the methods that foresahadow them. It does not does not contain certain theses about which political ends are good.
