Resumen
A careful analysis of the Machiavellian treaty Il Principe shows the employment of two very distinct
logical methodologies: 1. Set grouping, which leads to Boole’s algebra and is typical of chapters I-XIV
and XX-XXVI (with the exclusion of the central part). 2. The logic of approximate reasoning reserved to chapters
XV, XIX, where in an order still reasonably “bourgeois” the most revolutionary dynamics are included.
These principles, both of Aristotelian origin but belonging to different parts of his work, will have an enormous
impact both on the characterization of the Machiavellian political science (which now emerges in a
completely different light), as well as in the most emblematic features of Machiavelli’s writing, such as the
famous dilemmatic choice.
