Uniting thirty years of authoritative scholarship by a master of
textual detail, "Machiavelli's Virtue" is a comprehensive statement
on the founder of modern politics. Harvey Mansfield reveals the
role of sects in Machiavelli's 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 Machiavelli's thought.
"The book brings together essays that have mapped [Mansfield's]
paths of reflection over the past thirty years. . . . The ground,
one would think, is ancient and familiar, but Mansfield manages to
draw out some understandings, or recognitions, jarringly
new."--Hadley Arkes, "New Criterion"
"Mansfield's book more than rewards the close reading it
demands."--Colin Walters, "Washington Times"
"[A] masterly new book on the Renaissance courtier, statesman and
political philosopher. . . . Mansfield seeks to rescue Machiavelli
from liberalism's anodyne rehabilitation."--Roger Kimball, "The
Wall Street Journal"
