«Le Prince» is Niccolò Machiavelli's treatise on political philosophy, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (128 pages, in French).
«Le Prince», written in 1513 and dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici, analyzes how to gain and hold power: the ruler must use cunning and force, and strive to be feared without being hated. The work admits of opposing readings: a manual for the tyrant, a study of the mechanisms of power, or a warning to the people about the strategies of princes.
The original title of the work is «Il principe»; it was written in 1513. This French edition belongs to the Librio collection and reproduces the complete text.
Recommended for students of philosophy, political science, history and literature, as well as for readers of classics of political thought.
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.
