Description
Niccolò Machiavelli's The Discourses offers a thought-provoking commentary on the nature of politics and civic freedom. Written in response to Livy's history of republican Rome, Machiavelli presents a system of government that prioritises the virtues of active citizenship and the needs of the state over individual interests. This carefully argued treatise creates a modern theory of republic politics, one that remains relevant today.
