Decent Essays
“The ends must justify the means” this mains that people should get to do whatever they want for a good end; however the ends witch is gaining power must justifies the means. Being Morally fair doesn’t apply to actions in political power. An examples of this is when Cesare Borgia who beheaded a man and put the body on display in public to show his subjects that they need to fear him. “Is it better to be loved then to be feared” (pg 82, Machiavelli). A good leader needs to get their hands dirty to protect the people in there land. That is why ever leader is called Machiavellian.

    Niccolo Machiavelli’s book The Prince is a guide on how a proper prince should rule his nation. Machiavelli demonstrates how the past rulers have either been successful or not. Even as his audience were that of monarchs, many of his teachings’ outcomes can be seen in present day. In chapter 12, Machiavelli comments on the usage of mercenary troops.…

    In turn, he thinks that some vices, although viewed negatively, are for the greater good of the government. For example, Machiavelli writes that reputation should be a high priority for a good prince. He advises, “Whenever it happens that some one does something extraordinary, either good or evil, in civil life, he must find such means of rewarding or punishing him which will be much talked about,” (The Prince And the Discourses, 82). Even if something bad happens, Machiavelli believes a prince should find a way to manipulate the situation by gossiping and garnering attention to improve his reputation. He makes it clear that reputation is more important than the quality of leadership.…

    In one section of the article, Vincent Barnett discusses some of the alternative ways that Machiavelli’s The Prince can be interpreted. One interpretation was that Machiavelli possibly intended for his writing to be satirical, because certain facts, such as how Machiavelli had a family, refute his statement from the pamphlet that he believes all humans are evil. Also, it is possible that Machiavelli didn’t actually agree with the ideas in his writing, but he only wrote those things to gain favor from the leaders of his time. These are just possibilities, but knowing about Machiavelli’s life and his situation are important in order to understand his motives for writing The Prince. Just like Machiavelli, present-day leaders and authors make…

    Niccolò Machiavelli and Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca went through different experiences that led them to have their own perspectives in human nature and create their ideals for good governance. The simple fact that Cabeza de Vaca was unfortunate enough to have a hard time throughout the expedition made him more open minded about human nature, while Machiavelli had a set idea of what human nature was and how it ties to good governance. Machiavelli's view on human nature is the same as what is a good governance a good leader and a good human being is someone who knows how to be respected and feared without being hated and how that leads to have the people the Prince governs happy and on his side. Cabeza de Vaca has a more down to earth view on human nature but that differs…

    This is supported by Creon in Antigone where he states “If I nurture rebels within my household there’ll be many more rebels outside it... Whereas he who violates the laws of the gods and his city, or wants to command its leaders, will never gain my respect. We must obey those whom the city has ordained to be its leaders. We should obey them, unquestioningly, in all things, minor or great, those we agree with and those we oppose. I believe such a man would govern well…

    Although many see this as wrong, without a leader with the same views of Machiavelli, we could possible end up destroying ourselves because we think we know what is best. Tarltron explains this theoretical stance, “The view that The Prince was simply an exercise in practical political wisdom rooted in an historical theory of imitable examples can no longer be treated as indisputable.” (Tarlton) Between the two, it would seem that neither would work in today’s socially accepted rulers…

    According to the logic of Machiavelli, the politicians need to keep the independent judgment for the political. They need to consider how to succeed in politics, which is much more important that the morally correct. The morality of Machiavelli thought should have two kinds, the public virtue and the private virtue. The public morality emphasized a kind of public good. If a man does some evil deed for the national interest, the man still has a public virtue.…

    Machiavelli in The Prince is primarily a practical observer and diplomat analyst prescribing numerous ethical and political instructions to Cesar Borgia for pyramidical maintenance, sustenance and enhancement of political power at various stages of capturing, nurturing, preserving and augmenting power and absolute power for the prince. Hobbes’s aim in his Leviathan is similar to that of Machiavelli’s The Prince. Both are equally concerned for bringing about order out of chaotic civil war like situation in England and arbitrary ruler in Italy respectively. Hobbes is making an all-out effort to create an edifice and basis of scientific foundation for the need of a sovereign power through his so called scientific materialism. That is why he discusses at length human nature, psyche and need for sociological order in society.…

    In The Prince, Machiavelli writes on how a prince is to take power and how to maintain his position (Ryan, 2012, p.364). The concept of virtù is introduced, as an essential component that a prince must possess. It could be translated as the ability, quality or determination that secures political success (Ryan, 2012, p.375). Machiavelli finds an example of a virtuous prince in Cesare Borgia, described as a skillful leader who was only defeated by the negative effects of fortuna (Ryan, 2012, p.371). On the other hand, Agathocles is presented as a tyrant, whose form of ruling was dishonorable.…

    In the written work “The Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli the author elaborates on how a prince can only be a strong leader if he engages in duplicity. Machiavelli focused on a more realistic and immoral strategy to keep the people of his time unified, realpolitik a system based on practical rather than moral considerations. The author, Niccolo Machiavelli, goes through great depths to explain why it takes rulers who are “cruel, dishonest, duplicitous, and manipulative.” There are many great examples to prove his ideology, however, the writing is very subjective and bias as Machiavelli does not give a rebuttal to the different kinds of ruling. He writes “The Prince” after the current leading family of his time falls in order to keep the stability…

    “The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.” Machiavelli uses this analogy as an attempt to teach the masses how to embrace their human significance. Machiavelli wrote The Prince at a time where there was political unrest and confusion in Italy, which is why it can be interpreted in many different ways, such as a political satire or epilogue of his political views; however, while the content may be confusing the true meaning of The Prince is to be understood as a satire. Machiavelli is continuously sarcastic through out the course of the novel about the government standings and the changing world.…

    72). In other words, we would like to believe that humans always act on behalf of goodness and the benefit of others, but as history has proven numerous times, this is simply not the case. Ideally, loyalty would be unwavering and laws would govern suffice, eliminating the need to resort to force. It is for this precise reason that Machiavelli adopts the contentious beliefs still debated today. His views are not necessarily cynical, but a product of the reality of his…

    The Prince, in contrast, is a tyranny and bares tension with republicanism. A tyranny is exactly what is identified as a bad counterpart in the Discourses. This distinction does strain the potential relationship between the two texts, yet this is only validated if the two texts are read in mutual exclusion and without the consideration of external historical…
