Despite this, his invention of \"the effectual truth\" has often been overlooked. However, in his book \"Machiavelli's Effectual Truth,\" this overlooked phrase is explored and elucidated for the first time. The essence of \"the effectual truth\" for any individual is to rely solely on oneself to maintain freedom and security. Mansfield argues that this phrase sheds light on Machiavelli's approach to modern science, which emphasizes the efficient cause and a concern for factual evidence. He delves into the impact that Machiavelli intended his writings to have, believing that his philosophy would exert a profound influence on future philosophers. Mansfield suggests that Machiavelli's ultimate goal was to achieve a desired effect, thereby shaping his own future and creating a shared future for others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachiavelli, often regarded as a Renaissance thinker, made a remarkable statement that has garnered significant attention.
