Innehållsförteckning
Hur lång är Fursten?
Fursten är indelad i 26 kapitel; i det första fastslår Machiavelli att monarkier har en viss fördel framför republiker. Boken är skriven dels som en historisk redogörelse, dels via analyserna som en idéskrift om hur en god furste bör handla och uppträda, och påminner till genren om en krönika.

What does Machiavelli mean by Fortune in the Prince?
The figure of Fortuna makes an appearance in Chapter 25 of The Prince, but the concept of fortune is present throughout. In general, Machiavelli uses fortuna to refer to all of those circumstances which human beings cannot control, and in particular, to the character of the times, which has direct bearing on a prince’s success or failure.
What is Machiavelli’s definition of virtue?
While Machiavelli’s use of the word does not exclude the idea of goodness or virtuous behavior, it does not necessarily include it, either. Virtù is drive, talent, or ability directed toward the achievement of certain goals, and it is the most vital quality for a prince.
What is Machiavelli’s view of corruption?
In Machiavelli’s words, corruption does not have the modern meaning, but is the disappearance of civic virtues. Machiavelli thinks there is a distinct connection between great majority of virtuous citizens and the proper functioning of a state. If people are devoted to the common good, then the state will be a strong one.
What does Machiavelli say about opportunity and virtuosity?
Then again, Machiavelli implies that there is a connection between the two. In his statement that virtù is wasted if there is no opportunity, and opportunity is wasted if there is no virtù, Machiavelli implies that there is some kind of cooperation between the two forces—they cannot operate independently.
