Abstract

The Prince is a political text founder of modernity. Its disclosure was so controversial that it is quite difficult to have an exact idea about Machiavelli's own ideas regarding the purpose of his work. Created from the repercussions to the text of the Florentine thinker, the concept of Machiavellianism identifies the modern political thought in such a way that the emergence of the terms sovereign and state joined him almost interchangeably. In this article, I will examine some of the key reactions to The Prince to show the genesis of Machiavellianism in the backdrop of interpretative conflicts in dispute in the boiling of the modern state. My goal is to support the thesis that the thought of Machiavelli was critical to the ruptures that led to political modernity, regardless of his real intentions.
