Prince

Machiavelli's tough-minded, pragmatic argument that sometimes it is necessary to abandon ethics to succeed made his name notorious. Yet his book has been read by strategists, politicians and business people ever since as the ultimate guide to realpolitik. How can a leader be strong and decisive,…

The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings.
