Question 855

X was an Italian philosopher and writer during the Renaissance. He is one of the main founders of modern political science. He was a diplomat, political philosopher, musician, and a playwright. X is most famous for a short political treatise, Z, written in 1513, but not published until 1532, five years after X's death. Since the sixteenth century, generations of politicians remain attracted and repelled by the cynical approach to power posited in Z and his other works. Whatever his personal intentions, which are still debated today, his surname yielded the modern political word Y—the use of cunning and deceitful stratagem in politics. X? Y? Z?

X

Answer: X: Niccolo Machiavelli Y: Machiavellianism Z: The Prince
