Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat, historian, philosopher, writer and poet of the Renaissance period. He is often called the father of political science. He was a senior official in the Florentine Republic. He wrote his most famous work <em>The Prince</em> in (1513).
His views are famous for being unscrupulous, and normalizing behaviours such as dishonesty and the killing of innocents in politics.
