Alessandro Mulieri shows that the conceptual language of Aristotelianism not only shaped some of Machiavelli's most radical ideas but also played a key role in the development of his popular republican thought and his critique of classical republicanism.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmploying an interdisciplinary approach that blends the history of political thought, political theory, and the history of philosophy, the book presents an original interpretation of Machiavelli's engagement with five Aristotelian themes: the nature of political science, the relationship between virtue and fortune, the preservation of tyranny, the premodern notion of democracy as \"the rule of the poor\", and the prudence of the multitude.\u003cbr\u003eBy analysing a wide range of Latin and vernacular Aristotelian texts circulating in Machiavelli's time, alongside works by several Renaissance thinkers, the book addresses longstanding challenges in interpreting Machiavelli's relationship with ancient, medieval, and early modern sources, revealing the selective and profoundly strategic nature of his engagement with the premodern tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlessandro Mulieri\u003c\/b\u003e is \u003ci\u003eDirecteur de recherche\u003c\/i\u003e at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), affiliated with Triangle - Action, Discours, Pensée Politique et Économique in Lyon.
