Scholars have established that in The Prince, Machiavelli employed topical dialectic to update ancient maxims for the modern era. I show how he used dialectic to occupy and transform Aristotelian commonplaces that justified Renaissance philosophers' appeal to the ideal in political reasoning. These occupations reveal Machiavelli's preference for particulars over generalities as a considered judgment about the suitability of philosophy for popular readers.
