Here is a study, by a recognized master in the field of
intellectual history, of the challenge put by Machiavelli to the
idea that there is a universal moral law governing human behavior.
Should the political leader act according to the maxim of "my
country right or wrong," or should elites follow the principle of
"let justice be done?" Friederich Meinecke, an acknowledged founder
of cultural history as a field, follows the discussion of this
theme from Machiavelli through such major figures as Richelieu,
Frederick the Great, and Hegel, and presents conclusions of
enduring significance.
