Niccolò Machiavelli
Florentine diplomat and political theorist (1469–1527) whose treatise The Prince laid the foundations of modern political science. His unflinching analysis of power — separating politics from morality — gave rise to the concept of realpolitik and remains the most debated work of political philosophy in the Western canon.
