Describe what made Machiavelli a different kind of thinker in his time and how his kind of analysis may be relevant today.
Machiavelli was a born thinker and very peculiar attitude towards politics, religion, morality.
Machiavelli was the first thinker who freed political science from the clutches of religion and morality that practiced made him unique and different to other thinkers in his time.
Machiavelli was not interested in high religious and moral principles and his major concern over the power and political interest of the state.
Machiavelli has adopted a very clear stand about religion, morality, politics and he never denounced virtue, religion, and morality.
Machiavelli analysis is much relevant in this present business and political contexts because morality, virtues are mainstream of people's personal and professional life.
State good administration, prosperous life of people, creating harmony, developing morality, building virtues, etc are they key activities of leader, Prince, President, prime minister, or anybody who running the state. These are concerns still very effective and essential to run a state and give a better life to people.
