An introduction to political thought
Seven programmes presented by Brian Redhead
3: Machiavelli and Calvin Niccold Machiavelli (1469-1527) lived during a period of constant turmoil and war.
After a career as civil servant and diplomat, the years from
1512 to his death were devoted to study -with results that ensured him a lasting place in the history of political thought. His book, The Prince, was designed to show the new prince of the Medici how to gain, hold and increase political power. Unlike
Machiavelli, Jean Calvin
(1509-64) believed that all rightful authority is derived from God. Calvin was a prime mover of the Reformation and his thought - both theological and political - can be found in his Institution of Christian Religion.
With BRIAN REDHEAD are
