Dans l'homme de cour et le héros, Baltasar GracÃan se révèle un grand spécialiste de la casuistique (normal pour un jésuite) et du cynisme. Il ne conseille pas de mentir, mais de laisser à l'interlocuteur le soin de croire ce qui lui plaira le mieux. Il ne faut pas mentir, mais il ne faut pas dire toute la vérité... Tout cela nous évoque Le Prince de Machiavel. Le Prince de Baltasar GracÃan, c'est Ferdinand le Catholique, roi d'Aragon et maître en l'Art de la dissimulation. Ces oeuvres sont un recueil de préceptes sur l'art de la dissimulation politique. C'est aussi une profonde réflexion sur l'art de se gouverner soi-même, et bien sûr sur la condition humaine et le comportement mondain.
