Intended to be a treatise on ruling for princes, The Prince is one of the world's first and most impactful works of political science. In the book Machiavelli offers many bits of practical advice on how to rule and even though the book was written in the early 16th century the ideas are still very relevant today. Where The Prince differs from other political literature is in its separation of the lofty idealism of morality and ethics from the practical demands of governing. It is this very aspect of Machiavellis work that has made his name synonymous with an almost immoral opportunism. It has been argued that Machiavelli himself was not quite as devious in reality as his work would suggest but that he takes up this style in his work in order to present a provocative treatise that recognizes the pragmatic demands of governance. The impact on Western civilization of Machiavellis work cannot be overstated, and in The Prince we find a concise exposition of his political philosophy. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Political science|vEarly works to 1800. 650 0 Political ethics. 650 0 State, The. 700 1 Marriott, W.
