Abstract(s)

The constitution and formulation of «conspiracy» as a first order problem in political philosophy is exclusively due to Machiavelli. It was him who for the first time brought this new subject into political order. With great political virtuosity, for the first time Machiavelli treats conspiracies in a fundamentally pragmatic and technical manner.
