Evil in Human Nature and Politics

One of the Renaissance philosophers is Niccolo Machiavelli, who lived in 15th and 16th centuries in Italy. He has came to the philosophy scene by his extraordinary ideas on how a prince should be and what elements should be in the core of prince’s administration. He was criticized cruelly by many thinkers because of ignoring moralities, values and religious rules in politics. Although he was even tortured because of his ideas about politics, he had never given up to assert his ideas on how to administer a principality. In the core of his sentiments, there is the justification of the end, which is worthy to sacrifice everything for its sake in politics.
