2.9446 Machiavelli and "Fortune Is a Lady".
This essay discusses how, in the "Prince", Machiavelli says that "fortune is a lady." "It is necessary," he writes, "if you want to master her, to beat and strike her." (Machiavelli, p.76) In many respects, this statement exemplifies the clash in Machiavelli between "virtu" and "fortuna," which appears to be a conflict between the masculine principles of virility, courage and decisiveness and the feminine principles of caprice and malevolence. 5 pgs.

3.9523 Machiavelli's "The Prince".
Machiavelli's work, "The Prince", was written with the express purpose to ingratiate himself with the current ruling family, the Medicis. Religion plays a significant part in "The Prince". The reality that Machiavelli wrote about was that the church would play a significant role in a Prince's ability to maintain control and manage his country. Church and state were, then, one. To Machiavelli, the military is a necessary physical defense of the state. Dictators and totalitarianism finds their origin in The Prince. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.

4.2910 A Question of Morality: An Historiographic Analysis of the Life, Writings, and Influence of Niccolo Machiavelli
This paper will examine Machiavelli's career and work with respect both to the intellectual and political climate in which he lived, and to later historical interpretation of his writings. The central problems of his two major works - the "means to power" in "The Prince", and how "the end justifies the means" in "The Discourses" - will be examined to both in terms of historical context and historical interpretation. As will be seen, to understand Machiavelli's thinking about the above problems it is necessary to contextualize his work with respect to the dominant historiographic ideas of his day. It will be argued that, when situated in his own era, the political views which appear brutally cynical to some historians living in the late twentieth century become understandable and, in their own way, actually morally admirable.13 pgs. 27 f/c. 6b.
