From Politics to Reason of State: The Acquisition and Transformation of the Language of Politics 1250–1600 - Ideas in Context
Viroli, Maurizio (Princeton University, New Jersey)
This book examines the radical transformation in the language of politics which took place between the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth century. For three centuries politics enjoyed the status of the noblest human science, but it emerged from this 'revolution of politics' as an ignoble and sordid activity.
