Is Machiavelli a teacher of evil, a defender of
absolute, despotic rule? Or is he really a republican thinker as he appears to
be in The Discourses? This article
presents Machiavelli as a republican thinker. The contention of the article is
that Machiavelli throughout his life expressed a preference for the republic as
the best government despite his views expressed in his controversial work, The Prince. The article demonstrates
that when Machiavelli’s life and the political atmosphere of his time are taken
into consideration, The Prince fits
in with the republican account of Machiavelli’s life-work.

Öz
Machiavelli, mutlak, despotik yönetiminin en azılı
savunucusu mudur? Yoksa Söylevler
kitabından yola çıkarak gerçek bir cumhuriyetçi düşünür müdür? Bu makale
Machiavelli'yi cumhuriyetçi bir düşünür olarak sunmaktadır. Makalenin temel
savı, Machiavelli'nin Prens eserinde
ifade ettiği görüşlerine rağmen, hayatı boyunca cumhuriyeti en iyi rejim olarak
tercih ettiğidir. Ayrıca Machiavelli'nin hayatı ve zamanının politik atmosferi
göz önüne alındığında, Prens eserinin Machiavelli'nin cumhuriyet rejimini
hayata geçirme tasavvuruna da uyduğu iddia edilmektedir.
