RT Book T1 Machiavelli's ethics A2 Benner, Erica 1962- LA English PP Princeton, N.J PB Princeton University Press YR 2009 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/803366582 AB Introduction -- Contexts -- Foundations -- Principles -- Politics. AB Machiavelli's Ethics challenges the most entrenched understandings of Machiavelli, arguing that he was a moral and political philosopher who consistently favored the rule of law over that of men, that he had a coherent theory of justice, and that he did not defend the "Machiavellian" maxim that the ends justify the means. By carefully reconstructing the principled foundations of his political theory, Erica Benner gives the most complete account yet of Machiavelli's thought. She argues that his difficult and puzzling style of writing owes far more to ancient Greek sources than is usua NO Includes bibliographical references and index. - Description based on print version record CN B785.M24 SN 9781400831845 SN 1400831849 K1 Machiavelli, Niccolò 1469-1527 : Machiavelli, Niccolò K1 Machiavelli, Niccolò : 1469-1527 K1 Machiavelli, Niccolò K1 Ethics K1 PHILOSOPHY ; Social K1 PHILOSOPHY ; Ethics & Moral Philosophy K1 PHILOSOPHY ; Political K1 Ethik K1 Politische Ethik K1 Electronic books
