In a few exceptions, our representatives often behave in the exercise of power as if they were there to care for their own interests and not public affairs. Despite the dissatisfaction that the situation seems to trigger to society, the electorate does not get to transform their anger into effective gesture in order to withdraw from the public setting people who can not fulfill their mandate at the polls. Instead, the re-election of bad politicians has become commonplace fact. In this study, we proposed to discuss the matter in light of traditional philosophical theories, by selecting exponents of ethical thought from the Ancient Period to the Modern. We put special emphasis on behalf of amorality in Florentine thinker's ideas, to Machiavelli s political doctrine. === Lamentavelmente, a pol?tica brasileira caracteriza-se pela falta de ?tica. Ressalvadas algumas poucas exce??es, nossos representantes costumam comportar-se no exerc?cio do poder como se ali estivessem para cuidar dos pr?prios interesses e n?o da coisa p?blica. A despeito da insatisfa??o que a situa??o parece provocar junto ? boa parte da sociedade, o eleitorado n?o consegue transformar sua indigna??o em gesto efetivo no sentido de retirar da cena p?blica pessoas que n?o sabem honrar o mandato recebido nas urnas. Pelo contr?rio, a reelei??o de maus pol?ticos tornou-se fato corriqueiro. Neste estudo, propusemo-nos a discutir o assunto ? luz das teorias filos?ficas tradicionais, selecionando expoentes do pensamento ?tico do Per?odo Antigo at? o Moderno. Dedicamos especial ?nfase, por conta do amoralismo presente nas ideias do pensador florentino, ? doutrina pol?tica de Maquiavel.
