Machiavelli as a Humanist: Examples and the Lessons He Learned
Relying upon primary sources and the authors analytical insights, this five-page graduate paper examines Machiavelli as a humanist, discusses his examples and the lessons he learns, and concludes that none of Machiavellis principles were original, that all of them had been widely known and accepted for thousands of years, and that his efforts to proclaim them is remindful of a preacher preaching to the choir. He has been vastly overrated, and is not deserving of the status he has been accorded by historians.
