New Approaches to the Study of Machiavelli

This video was recorded at 12th IAPSS Academic Conference and General Assembly, Ljubljana 2009. Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527) was an Italian philosopher, writer, and politician and is considered one of the main founders of modern political science.[1] As a Renaissance Man, he was a diplomat, political philosopher, musician, poet and playwright, but, foremost, he was a Civil Servant of the Florentine Republic. In June of 1498, after the ouster and execution of Girolamo Savonarola, the Great Council elected Machiavelli as Secretary to the second Chancery of the Republic of Florence. text source: Wikipedia article about Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
