The meaning of an Italian word; I think it is a compound. It is used in a passage about the political philosophy of Machiavelli.

It's simply an adverb/adjective (depending on whether it modifies the verb or subject in that particular sentence) meaning philosophically. Has nothing to do with stringy and that's the danger when one looks up partial words in the dictionary. You have to look at the context within which it is being used. Your context is absolutely crystal clear - the political philosophy of Machiavelli. Hope this helps

I believe it means philosophically. The word is filosoficamente and the correct stem is 'filosofica' which means philosophical and 'mente' is the english version of adding 'ly'. I hope this helps.
