This study provides a nuanced view of the complexities of Machiavelli's thought by analyzing his classical background, taking into particular consideration the influence of Xenophon, and his view of the ideal ruler as someone who creates the conditions for a flourishing human life. In addition, B\u00e1rcenas explains why Machiavelli defends a republican political order that encourages citizens to live according to their own laws while serving a common good and revises his legacy through the writings of Leo Strauss, Eric Voegelin and Maurizio Viroli.--"}, "latest_revision": 3, "revision": 3, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2020-09-21T04:45:03.632770"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-01-14T21:03:31.750606"}}
