History generally regards the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Prince \u003c\/i\u003eas a one-note schemer and callous plotter. Some contemporary critics even call him a satirist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this newly introduced and annotated edition of Machiavelli's most enduring work, scholar of esotericism Mitch Horowitz elucidates the greater spectrum of the pragmatic philosopher's ideas to reveal a figure concerned not just with amoral cunning but possessed of standards and ideals rarely appreciated in modern assessments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A fresh look,\" Mitch writes in his introduction, \"often reveals the unexpected. Machiavelli imbued \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e with a greater sense of purpose and ethics than is commonly understood...I believe that some who encounter \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e today will recognize subtleties missing from the value-free rationalism prominent in some precincts of our culture.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMitch's new assessment and chapter notes highlight practical lessons that give \u003ci\u003eThe Prince\u003c\/i\u003e its immortality. Not all of Machiavelli's advice remains pertinent or possible in today's world; nor would most readers wish to act on all of it. But, as Mitch explores, the political philosopher's overarching principles warrant careful scrutiny and evaluation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis unabridged edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Prince \u003c\/i\u003eis drawn from N.H.
