Niccolo Machiavelli's seminal work, The Prince, argued that a ruler
could not govern morally and be successful. Giovanni Botero
disputed this argument and proposed a system for the maintenance
and expansion of a state that remained moral in character. Founding
an anti-Machiavellian tradition that aimed to refute Machiavelli in
practice, Botero is an important figure in early modern political
thought, though he remains relatively unknown. His most notable
work, Della ragion di Stato, first popularised the term 'reason of
state' and made a significant contribution to a major political
debate of the time - the perennial issue of the relationship
between politics and morality - and the book became a political
'bestseller' in the late sixteenth and the seventeenth century.
This translation of the 1589 volume introduces Botero to a wider
Anglophone readership and extends this influential text to a modern
audience of students and scholars of political thought.
