El Príncipe
(en el original en italiano: Il principe) es un tratado de doctrina política compuesto por Nicolás Maquiavelo en 1513 mientras se encontraba en San Casciano confinado por la acusación de haber conspirado en contra de los Medici. Maquiavelo dedicó la obra a Lorenzo II de Medici, hijo de Pedro II de Medici, con la esperanza de reconquistar el encargo de Secretario de la República, y fue publicada póstumamente en 1532. Se trata sin duda de su obra con más renombre, aquella por la cual ha nacido el sustantivo «maquiavelismo» y el adjetivo «maquiavélico».

"The Prince" is a political treatise by the Florentine public servant and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. Originally called De Principatibus (About Principalities), it was written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. The treatise is not representative of the work published during his lifetime, but it is the most remembered, and the work responsible for bringing «Machiavellian» into wide usage as a pejorative term. It has also been suggested by some critics that the piece is, in fact, a satire.
Niccolò Machiavelli: The Prince (English Edition)
"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life, and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined."
"The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli is one of the first works of political philosophy. It is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one responsible for bringing the word «Machiavellian» into usage as a pejorative. «The Prince» was first published in 1532.
Machiavelli - Der Fürst
"Der Fürst" (Il Principe) von Niccolo Machiavelli ist ein Lehrbuch über das Erringen und Erhalten von Macht. Es enthält strategische Empfehlungen und massenpsychologischen Rat für Fürsten, Könige, und Kaiser. Machiavelli entwirft in «Der Fürst» eine Strategielehre, die sich sowohl in Business, Politik, als auch für militärische Fragestellungen anwenden lässt. Unschwer erkennt man in diesen drei Bereichen bis heute Verhaltensmuster, die offenbar an machiavellistischen Ideen geschult worden sind.
Der Fürst
Niccolo Machiavellis berühmtes Buch vom Fürsten ist eines der ersten der modernen politischen Philosophie. Er beschreibt darin Wege zur Erlangung und zum Erhalt politischer Macht. Aufgrund des darin vertretenen radikalen, amoralischen und rein am Erfolg orientierten Zweckrationalismus ist das Werk seit seinem Erscheinen höchst umstritten und war zeitweise sogar verboten.
The Prince
"The Prince" (Italian: «Il Principe») is a 16th-century political treatise by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, «De Principatibus» («About Principalities»). However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but «long before then, in fact since the first appearance of the 'Prince' in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings».
Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the «mirrors for princes» style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is only partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice which had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's «Divine Comedy» and other works of Renaissance literature.
"The Prince" is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics.
