Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527)
Usually it is spoken of politically correct to refer to what can be said, in contrast to what although true, cannot be expressed to be inconvenient, little benefic for who it holds the power, unpopular in the short term or without demagogy.
For the philosopher Vladimir Volkoff, politically correct means "such as we know it in the present time represents the entropy of the political thought”. Like so, it is impossible its definition since it lacks a true content. Its basic foundation is that of the "all is worth".
The political correction demands us to tolerate, to minimize conducts, to return in untouchable what "it is well", the current conception of the moment and the unique thought.
When Niccolò Machiavelli -Nicolás Maquiavelo- (1469-1527), in 1513, publishes its work "The Prince", commits a politically incorrect act when he reveals, as advice, the mechanisms that are moved behind the governors.
Independently of the judgment of the value that their lessons deserve to us, the same ones show to us as real, the criteria that, unless exceptions, guide those who hold the power. Therefore the importance that the work of this Florentine instilled of the spirit Renaissance has.
