The necessary virtues

December 7, 2012December 15, 2013 Akshat RathiLeave a comment

One of the greatest books on political thought is Machiavelli’s The Prince. In it he asks a great prince to possess three virtus:

1. clementia : The quality of mercy

2. liberalitas : The quality of geneorsity

3. fides : One who honours his words

Even today, these are three virtues that everyone must possess.
