Focusing on the role of education in shaping citizens, the author argues that Renaissance political theorists prioritized cultivating virtue over merely reforming laws. Rather than viewing the period as the foundation of modern republicanism led by Machiavelli, the book highlights the importance of the humanities in promoting the social good through a transformative educational program. This perspective challenges conventional interpretations of Renaissance political thought and its implications for contemporary governance.
