Political and philosophical commentaries on the republic of ancient
Rome from the Renaissance author of The Prince. In Discourses,
Italian statesman, philosopher, and writer Niccolò Machiavelli offers
a wide-ranging analysis of the democratic underpinnings of the Roman
Republic, based on the epic history written by Roman scholar Titus
Livy. Focusing on “a republic as the best way to secure the long
term stability of states . . . the various discourses contain
observations about aspects of governance, political powers, state
safety, corruption, and the expansion of powers. They analyze types of
governments and how they change over time from both internal and
external pressures. The observations provide significant insights into
our world today” (OpEdNews.com).
