Abstract

This paper describes the qualities of a prince, according to Machiavelli in his book The Prince, and attributes them to President Santos in order to understand the moral values of the country, since the Presidency is an institution with accepted practices. Virtues and vices are expressed in concrete acts that determine them, becoming the character of a person, his mark. Methodologically, there exist conceptual ideas -such as pure types- to set the frame of reference of human behavior. In conclusion, we foresee two ways to run the country: one committed to potentiate good actions of people for their own good and that of society; the second consist in leaving gaps to be filled by human circumstances and desperate attitudes emerging from anger and irrationality.
