Макиавелли считается создателем практического подхода к политике, в котором любые средства могут быть использованы для достижения успеха.
Возможность справедливого правления зависит от случая.
В мире существует определенное количество добра и зла, так как человеческая природа неизменна.
Поощрение добродетелей сопровождалось страхом наказания в Республиканском Риме.
Коррупция является частью исторических флуктуаций между добром и пороком.
Священники проповедуют, если тебя ударили по одной щеке, подставь другую.
Часто решение проблемы создания справедливого общества кажется обманчиво простым.
Самая надежная часть человеческой природы (натуры) – наши страсти – любовь, страх, ненависть.
Древние философы подчеркивали важность добродетелей для воспитания справедливых людей и создания справедливых обществ.

Политическая деятельность, как и всякая иная, предполагает определение ее целей. Они подразделяются на долгосрочные (стратегические) и текущие.
Особое значение имеет вопрос о наличии средств, с помощью которых могут реализовываться эти цели.
Применительно к политической деятельности этот вопрос рассматривал выдающийся мыслитель эпохи Возрождения Никколо Макиавелли. «Излишне говорить, - писал он, - сколь похвальна в государстве верность данному слову, прямодушие и неуклонная честность. Однако мы знаем по опыту, что в наше время великие дела удавались лишь тем, кто не старался сдержать данное слово и умел, кого нужно, обвести вокруг пальца; такие государи в конечном счете преуспели куда больше, чем те, кто ставил на честность.… Следует понимать, что государь, особенно новый, ради сохранения государства часто бывает вынужден идти против своего слова, против милосердия, доброты и благочестия».
Формуле «цель оправдывает средства» противостоит другой взгляд на соотношение политики и морали: подчинить политику нравственности. Однако политическому деятелю нередко приходится выбирать – либо для предотвращения опасности проводить жесткие меры, не вполне соответствующие «абсолютной морали», либо своим бездействием допустить ущерб для общества.
