In recent years, Niccolo Machiavelli's works have been viewed
primarily with historical interest as analysis of the tactics used
by immoral political officials. Roger D. Masters, a leading expert
in the relationship between modern natural sciences and politics,
argues boldly in this book that Machiavelli should be reconsidered
as a major philosopher whose thought makes the wisdom of antiquity
accessible to the modern (and post-modern) condition, and whose
understanding of human nature is superior to that of Hobbes, Locke,
Rousseau, Marx, or Mill. Central to Masters's claim is his
discovery, based on previously untranslated documents, that
Machiavelli knew and worked with Leonardo da Vinci between
1502-1507. An interdisciplinary tour de force, Machiavelli,
Leonardo, and the Science of Power will challenge, perplex, and
ultimately delight readers with its evocative story of the
relationship between Machiavelli and da Vinci, their crucial roles
in the emergence of modernity, and the vast implications this holds
for contemporary life and society.
