Corrupção e natureza humana no pensamento de Maquiavel : uma interseção entre os textos políticos e literários

Abstract

The hypothesis that supports our thesis is that Machiavelli's literary texts are part of his political and intellectual project in a decisive way. Our bet is to map through this set of texts a common denominator that allows us to talk about Machiavelli's conception of human nature to demonstrate how these ideas connect with the pillars of his political realism. To carry out our intentions, we chose to investigate how the problem of corruption unfolds in his reflection since this is a section that mobilizes the main concepts of his political philosophy.
