I don't know why I felt like President Barack Obama was giving the lecture, but I am totally ahead of my intro to Philosophy class because of these lectures! Thank you so much!
This is an unfortunate misrepresentation of Machiavelli. He stated that Machiavelli was being descriptive but implied he was being prescriptive. In fact the Prince was an ironic piece and Machiavelli actually advocated Republicanism and separation of powers.
@@SabineTheHutt "In fact, it is not the well-being of individuals that makes cities great, but the well-being of the community; and it is much better to have a republic where individual well-being is little considered, but where the common good is assured, than to have a place where individual well-being is considered and the republic is lost." - Nicolo Machiavelli, the Discourses.
Leonard Peikoff is the great philosopher.
really really profound, so many thanks Leonard
