THE RELEVANCE OF CONCEALMENT IN SAAVEDRA FAJARDO

  • Miguel Grande Yañez
Keywords: Concealment, deceit, care, reason of State, Prince

Abstract

In this article, deceit and concealment, the instruments of good and bad reason of State, are distinguished. Saavedra Fajardo doesn’t go far from scholastic morals when he tolerates concealment and rejects deceit. Concealment appears linked to the Prince’s operative care and to a humble or limited power. Hence fore, concealment can be finally defined as a humble or careful deceit.
