Abstract

Every political thinker's view of human beings determines how he views politics and the model of his political decisions. As one of the founders of the new political philosophy, Machiavelli has certain political views that have made him famous in the world of politics. The roots of Machiavelli's political views must be sought in his particular view of human beings. The leading article seeks to examine Machiavelli's negative view of human beings, as well as the Qur'an, and to obtain, as far as possible, its results and implications for politics.The author believes that the negative view of human beings that led Machiavelli to provide special recommendations and prescriptions in the world of politics that were not explicitly stated before can be seen in religious works, especially the Holy Quran. The negative view of human beings in the Holy Qur'an is viewed only from a moral point of view and its implications and its educational effects are less considered inEthics and politics.
