There are, in the history of philosophy, very few who have reached the level of notoriety as Niccolo Machiavelli. Here was a man who failed in just about everything throughout his lifetime, but succeeded, nonetheless, in adding his name to the list of heroes throughout history. The Philosophy of Machiavelli is almost exclusively a political philosophy, ethics and religions also make themselves known but only as tributary to the main theme.
