Publisher Description Uniting thirty years of authoritative scholarship by a master of textual detail, Machiavellis Virtue is a comprehensive statement on the founder of modern politics. Harvey Mansfield reveals the role of sects in Machiavellis politics, his advice on how to rule indirectly, and the ultimately partisan character of his project, and shows him to be the founder of such modern and diverse institutions as the impersonal state and the energetic executive. Accessible and elegant, this groundbreaking interpretation explains the puzzles and reveals the ambition of Machiavellis thought."The book brings together essays that have mapped [Mansfields] paths of reflection over the past thirty years. . . .
