Niccolo Machiavelli
Explanation:
- Niccolo Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 - June 21, 1527) was an Italian political philosopher during the Renaissance. His most famous work, The Ruler (Il Principe), is a book intended to be a manual for rulers.
- Published after his death, the book championed the theory that "the goal determines the means," which is considered an early example of realpolitik.
- It is a common mistake to say that the goal justifies the means, which Machiavelli did not write in any of his writings. Machiavelli is the first thinker to note that politics is not subject to ethical principles, because justifying something means doing it ethically.
- The term Machiavellian today describes narrow, self-interested behavior, and leads to many misconceptions about Machiavellian philosophy.
