Özet:

Today's controversial and far from understanding political science thinkers may be Machiavelli. When the name of Machiavelli passes anywhere, the word "every way to reach amaca is disputed" is identified with the thinker and follows it. The people who are called by this word are almost all the same: politicians/managers are people who are far from morality, with constant demons in their minds, who are liars, righteous, and who do everything for their minds. This approach is caused by the unknownness of Machiavelli's thought and causes the thinker to be misvalued in the presence of history. There is no expression in any of Machiavelli’s works that every way to reach the goal can be a battle. These expressions revealed by the interpretation of the Prince’s book are expressions that Machiavelli did not say but told him after his death. In this study, the ideas of the controversial thinker will be evaluated in the framework of the concepts of power, political power, legitimacy, national unity and morality, and will try to emphasize the points that the writer is trying to be forced to say and that Machiavelli actually never said.
