Самым известным произведением писателя стал трактат "Государь", первоначально издававшийся в России под названиями "Князь" и "Правитель". Макиавелли создал учение о последовательно светском государстве, свободном от церковной морали. Он полагал, что в борьбе за упрочение государства допустимы любые средства: насилие, обман, предательство. Появившийся впоследствии термин "макиавеллизм" стал обозначать политику, пренебрегающую законами морали. Однако сегодня многие положения автора воспринимаются как сами собой разумеющиеся, найдя свое воплощение в истории XX века.
