## Description

The Prince: Second Edition [Machiavelli, Niccolo, Mansfield, Harvey C.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Prince: Second Edition

Review: Excellent translation and volume by Mansfield - I am no devotee of Machiavelli's. Were I rating this on what I consider sound political theory I'd surely be knocking off a few stars. Nevertheless, this is an important book to read, and reflects the climate of American politics more so than, say, Aristotle's Politics. I do think that there is value, however, in the advice Machiavelli offers, but I think one needs to be a person of high virtue to not let it corrupt. On a side, there may even be some nuggets of dating advice here! As regards Mansfield's translation and introduction, these are top notch. There was one question that arose from the group that I was reading with regarding a certain key term -- Intero, which Mansfield translates as 'honest', but which may have other connotations of 'wholeness'. Other than that, a good, readable translation.
Review: College read - College read! Good even now!

College read! Good even now!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Understanding can include conquest or control, yet conquest is often too busy to understand.
*by W***E on September 23, 2019*

I have learned much through Machiavelli and Prof. Mansfield. Machiavelli has seemed to captivate most of the reviewers. He certainly has been and continues to be an effective Prince. I personally find fascinating the way in which Machiavelli has used Christian means to promote unChristian ends. Capture the mind and the bodies will follow. The hidden launcher of the modern project and his adept successors have largely succeeded in distorting natural law and its Author. Nature or natures are still stronger and more stabile than moderns realize and yet more malleable than the ancients thought. We can all be thankful for the best in the modern project without becoming too captivated by its founder or unarmed prophet.
