Machiavelli: Restorationist or Revolutionary?

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews Noah Webster's description of Niccolo Machiavelli as an Italian statesman, political philosopher and an artist. In his "own science of politics", he steps back into the depth and distance of the past to portray a perspective of the best that government can and should become as a necessary model for the citizens of a state and the "protection of [their] liberty". The paper further discusses how, for over a century, during Machiavelli's lifetime and career, "five Italian states (Florence, Milan, Naples, Rome, and Venice) had been locked in a struggle for dominance".
