%X 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
