Frederick the Great (1712 - 1786), the king of Prussia, was a comprehensively gifted person - a statesman, commander, philosopher, architect, writer. "A well -working government should represent the same firmly related system as the system of concepts in philosophy. All his decisions should be well justified, economic, foreign and military policy should contribute to a single goal - the consolidation of state power and an increase in its power, ”wrote Frederick.
He categorically disagree with the principles proclaimed by N. Machiavelli in his famous treatise "Sovereign". Cunning, insidiousness, deceit, treachery, cruelty, which, according to Machiavelli, are required for successful reign, Frederick considered low qualities that were only harmful to the sovereign. In his book "Anti-Makiavelli", he writes what the ruler should be in order to earn the true respect of his subjects and not be despised by them.
This publication also provides, for the first time with modern spelling, "Notes about Russia" Friedrich, where he evaluates the Russian foreign and domestic policy of the first half of the 18th century
