Moses and the political God from thought of Machiavelli
Abstract
Machiavelli carefully observes the forms, modes and characteristics of Moses' leadership in order to advise modern political leaders. However, what seems to stand out most about the Savior from the waters is the order he achieves among the Jewish people thanks to his conception of God.
Machiavelli, due to Moses' methods of political execution, establishes a political theology, which, as demonstrated here, is based on religion as a necessary political element, since its astute use can bring great benefits to the one who executes it.
