Reviews
'Mansfield has a signature way of reading and writing, which is on full display in Machiavelli's Effectual Truth. As a reader, he is not afraid to make bold conjectures about arguments, suggestions, and intentions that an author does not state plainly but conveys between the lines of his text. As a writer, he blends simplicity and subtle sophistication. Mansfield is a master at using simple, unpretentious words in phrases that are more artful and telling than they first appear.' Devin Stauffer, Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin

Synopsis
Machiavelli is said to be a Renaissance thinker, yet in a notable phrase he invented, 'the effectual truth,' he attacked the high-sounding humanism typical of the Renaissance, while mounting a conspiracy against the classical and Christian values of his time. In Machiavelli's Effectual Truth this overlooked phrase is studied and explained for the first time. The upshot of 'effectual truth' for any individual is to not depend on anyone or anything outside yourself to keep you free and secure. Mansfield argues that this phrase reveals Machiavelli's approach to modern science, with its focus on the efficient cause and concern for fact. He inquires into the effect Machiavelli expected from his own writings, who believed his philosophy would have an effect that future philosophers could not ignore. His plan, according to Mansfield, was to bring about a desired effect and thus to create his own future and ours., This is the first book on the 'effectual truth,' a new kind of truth invented by Machiavelli that led to the invention of scientific method in cause and effect, passed along to philosophic successors, such as Montesquieu 230 years later. High-level thinking in words you can understand.
