Machiavelli in Love: The Modern Politics of Love and Fear

Haig Patapan argues that at the heart of 'modernity' is a new view of love that accounts for important aspects of modern politics and philosophy, including its conception of power, constitutionalism, and beauty. By examining Machiavelli's epistolary, poetical, and political works, Machiavelli in Love reveals his understanding of love and its theoretical foundations for a modern politics founded on fear.
