“[Machiavelli] can still engage our attention with remarkable immediacy,
and this cannot be explained solely by the appeal of his ironic
observations on human behaviour. Perhaps the most important thing is the
way he can compel us to reflect on our own priorities and the reasoning
behind them; it is this intrusion into our own defenses that makes
reading him an intriguing experience. As a scientific exponent of the
political art Machiavelli may have had few followers; it is as a
provocative rhetorician that he has had his real impact on history.”
