The philosopher Isaiah Berlin suggested  that rather than being amoral, The Prince hearkens back to  ancient Greek morality, placing the glory of the state above the  Christian ideal of individual salvation.
Filsuf Isaiah Berlin mengatakan bahwa dibanding tidak bermoral, The Prince kembali ke moralitas zaman Yunani kuno, meletakkan kejayaan negara di atas ideal  Kristen tentang keselamatan individu.
