«El príncipe» is Nicolás Maquiavelo's essay on political philosophy, published by S.M. Editorial in hardcover (123 pages, in Spanish).
Written by Nicolás Maquiavelo in 1513, El príncipe inaugurates modern political thought by analyzing how state power is acquired and maintained. Unlike earlier moral treatises, Maquiavelo examines politics as a practice governed by its own regularities, structured around the contrast between fortune and virtue, and offers the ruler practical recommendations for legitimizing and sustaining his dominion.
Classic work of Western political thought. Foreword by José Antonio Jáuregui in this edition of the 100 joyas del milenio collection.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, political science and the history of ideas.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
