Abstract

From a popular point of view, Machiavellianism is mainly understood as indifference to morality. Moreover, many scholars have conceived Niccolò Machiavelli as a political theorist who only paid attention to the rules of obtaining power. Contrasting with this interpretation, there are many diverse testimonies of the Machiavelli’s concern about morals. The main object of this article is to try to offer a unity perspective around this topic.
