The gentleman reading this book has a splendid voice. I keep coming back to it even though I first listened to it such a long time ago. It is, by far, the best Librivox recording that I have heard.
I notice the quality of this reading as well. In fact, I thought it was a professional/commercial reading (having come back to it later and started some 5 minutes in). What a gift.
A primary lesson which tends to be unlearned, even here: we must approach things as they are, not as they ought to be, or as we would want them to be, and deal with the reality as it is.
Fortunately, there have been enough people throughout history who ignored this "lesson" that we no longer squat in caves, rubbing sticks together and living to the ripe old age of 25.
2:11:58 "And, he who is highly esteemed, is not easily conspired against. ... he can only be attacked with difficulty." 2:12:10 "For this reason, a prince ought to have two fears: one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers."
1:59:20 "[Is it] better to be loved than feared, or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both. But because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved." 2:04:06 "He must endeavor only to avoid hatred."
I LOVE Machiavelli. It’s so sad that he is thought of the way he is by some. He wrote an amazing genius book about how to be an maintain Princehood to a Prince. I fail to see the badness.
Fail to see the “badness”? I don’t see how that’s possible. To ignore it and say it’s necessary is understandable, but to say that you don’t see how this could be interpreted as bad is silly. Machiavelli assumes the worst in people and plays off their trust. This works great until you find yourself surrounded by other machiavellians and spiral into anxiety and madness.
By writing The Prince, Machiavelli also gives the reader, the general public and any factions not deeming themselves of the same cloth as tyrants and iron fisted rulers a means of perspective by which to spot such tactics and see their modus operandi. There is a duality in the book.
1:34:48 "Auxiliaries, which are the other useless arms, are employed when a prince is called in with his forces to aid and defend." 1:35:20 "These arms may be useful and good in themselves. But for _him who calls_ them in, they're always disadvantageous. For losing, one is undone; and winning, one is their captive." 1:42:21 "...nothing can be so uncertain or unstable as fame or power not founded on it's own strength." 1:42:29 "...one's own forces are those which are composed of either subjects, citizens, or dependents. All others are mercenaries or auxiliaries."
This one is great. May I suggest Dorian Gray-Oscar Wilde. The older English gentleman who narrates it REALLY puts u in the story. Great book but because of the theatrical reading of it, it’s top of my list now. 😊. Librivox though…I don’t know if it’s on UA-cam
@@carolinealexandra3752 Toxicity for one, (same as most comment sections) and the fact that this type of subject matter seems to attract the most egotistical, pretentious, and skeevy people who all want to believe they're geniuses. I believe that most are incels, angry at the world because they're too afraid to attempt to get laid and trying to prop up their own ego, but that just my opinion.
2:17:22 "...he set up an arbiter, who should be one who could beat down the great and favor the lesser without reproach to the king." 2:17:41 "...Princes ought to leave affairs of reproach to the management of others and to keep those of grace in their own hands."
1:16:21 "...to keep the people quiet and without loss to the state, they always have the means of giving work to the community and those labors that are the life and strength of the city and on the pursuit of which the people are supported."
1:53:39 "Thus it comes to pass that he exercises liberality towards all from whom he does not take and, who are numberless, and meanness to whom he does not give, who are few." 1:54:32 "A prince, therefore, provided that he has not to rob his subjects, that he can defend himself, that he does not become poor and abject, that he is not forced to become rapacious, ought to hold, _of little account,_ a reputation for being mean."
1:25:13 "Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous." 1:26:48 "The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not. If they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you or their master, or others contrary to your intentions. But if the captain is not skillful, you'll be ruined in the usual way."

At its core, the Vietnam War began as a religious war of Catholics vs. Buddhists. Diem had an audience with Pope Pius XII, as mentioned in Miller's Misalliance p. 38. According to this, in 1966 Pope Paul VI addresses 150,000 people in St. Peter’s Square in Rome and calls for an end to the war in Vietnam through negotiations.

The logical precision is beyond reproach. However, the mechanisism by which the author establishes the decategorization of good and evil is a hidden judgement of what is good and all he has done is redefine "good" in terms of his desires. Since the concepts of "love" and "goodness" are intrinsically linked, one cannot justify the idea of love as utility while attempting to abolish the distinction between good and evil. Like it or not, the abolishment of good and the indictment of love (as not being as reliable as fear) is a moral judgement. Machiavelli does not give an account of the mechanism by which moral judgements are made because his philosophy would immediately fall apart.
2:06:20 "...because they [(some)] are bad and will not keep faith with you, you to are not bound to observe it with them." 2:06:51 "...it is necessary to know well disguise this characteristic and to be a great pretender and dissembler." 2:06:59 "...men are _so simple_ and so subject to present necessities that he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived." 2:07:13 "Alexander the sixth did nothing else but deceive men, nor ever thought of doing otherwise, and he always found victims. For there never was a man who had greater power in asserting, or who with greater oaths affirm a thing, it would observe it less. Never the less, his deceits always succeeded according according to his wishes, because he well understood this side of mankind."

It says at the beginning it is public domain. If it is public domain, it is owned by everyone, and can be sold be anyone, the disclaimer is at the very beginning of the audio recording. I've sold occult books that I got from the New York Public LIbrary's stock, had them printed up, I had every right to do it given to me from the library themselves, it even gives the copyright date on the books, music. etc. I think it's 108 years for it to expire naturally, but I am pretty sure you can even go and print up a copy of "The Prince" yourself and sell it, as the copyright on that expired....or probably never even had one. In China there are no copyright laws at all so that's how they are abler to make fake crap. I was selling well enough until the internet got easy to use. however you do make a good point, you should really only sell stuff that's in your name, my books were things people couldn't get anywhere else, this is accessible to everyone and being public domain should be ad free.

Have you met any Saudi or Thai princes? or from another country? I have. Bunch of rotten little bastards, they use it as a pickup line in Hollywood bars. In countries where there is an oligarchy, (like the USA, ALL of the U.S. presidents are descendants of King Edward the second except I think Madison and Polk, they're all one family they just don't advertise it very much, you can look it up online their lineage is traced back several hundred years.) the family obviously has a strong sense of entitlement and the sons of the royal family are spoiled and the worst are the Persian kids who see women as possessions, slavery is still legal in the middle east and Africa, and they treat those women bad, real bad, and come here and flash their daddy's credit card and treat all USA women like shit, but they still come running and yeah I think Charles isn't that bad prince wise. His grandmother kept the Chinese hooked on Opium for 100 years remember, he's from a vicious and scandalous line of cutthroats and murderers, MASS murderers like King Henry VIII......OH MY LORD I just understood that's what you meant, a GOOD prince is Machiavellian.....lol I was gonna erase that comment then thought nah, let her think "this guy missed what I was saying"
@@ivandamico93 Madison and Polk descend from English kings as well. The only President who didnt descend from an English king is the only President we've had who wasn't of English descent, the Dutch one. It isn't because they're actually family but because literally every person with any English ancestry will descend from royalty if you go back far enough. It's just a mathematical fact. Everyone with any western European ancestry at all descends from Charlemagne. It isn't a conspiracy.
Eddie well, yes, if you let the king have all the virgins in his territory you're going to have descendants exponentially multiply, I think that would make it a conspiracy!
@@ivandamico93 lol i think youre watching too many movies that's a total myth.. You're talking about the king having a right to sleep with every woman in the kingdom before her husband does right? or something else??
Glaubst du dass das in der realen Welt auch so funktionieren würde wenn wir unendlich reich wären und einfach die ganze Zeit wie Entdecker reisen könnten?

A primary lesson which tends to be unlearned, even here: we must approach things as they are, not as they ought to be, or as we would want them to be, and deal with the reality as it is.

Yep, this is the realpolitik - a diametrical opposite to the unhinged neo-liberalism in the west today.
@@Jacob011 saids who? dipshit!! if your gonna hate speech look me in the eyes pussy
The argument in _The Prince_ is dispassionate yet emphatic, an attitude perfectly embodied in the narration. It makes for a highly enjoyable read.
2:11:58 "And, he who is highly esteemed, is not easily conspired against. ... he can only be attacked with difficulty."
2:12:10 "For this reason, a prince ought to have two fears: one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers."

Then you are missing the first page. Or have an entirety different translation
"The Former desire ONLY not to be oppressed... "
Not an unreasonable request.

is also curious that all words that neither match latin neither other romance latin languages like french english portuguese italian or mexican matches in catalan language !
terra florida, illa de cuba, terra nova, bonaire,
is time to bring back the catalan language ,after many centuries of opression and manipulation since guttenberg times

There is seriously a hundred times more comments on this than on Machiavelli's other book. Just an observation.
This has been online for many more years.

Advertising on Librivox recordings eh? That's a bit low.
It says at the beginning it is public domain. If it is public domain, it is owned by everyone, and can be sold be anyone, the disclaimer is at the very beginning of the audio recording. I've sold occult books that I got from the New York Public LIbrary's stock, had them printed up, I had every right to do it given to me from the library themselves, it even gives the copyright date on the books, music. etc. I think it's 108 years for it to expire naturally, but I am pretty sure you can even go and print up a copy of "The Prince" yourself and sell it, as the copyright on that expired....or probably never even had one. In China there are no copyright laws at all so that's how they are abler to make fake crap. I was selling well enough until the internet got easy to use. however you do make a good point, you should really only sell stuff that's in your name, my books were things people couldn't get anywhere else, this is accessible to everyone and being public domain should be ad free.

A secondary lesson: mess with Machiavelli, whether he is alive or dead, and he will find you Neeson style. Good luck...

Fucking stupid...2pac is a loser! he promoted THUG LIFE, Rape, Prostitution!!!!!! and yet what makes him worthy of anything? he never helped no one but his aids having self....
@@angelfrmda5595 do you know what THUG LIFE represents I think u should do your reasearch because Tupac was a brilliant man and just did bad things, I encourage you to do some deep digging on the man so you get a truly deeper understanding of him, thankyou
Fuck Tupac

Now we can understand why Charles is not a good prince
Have you met any Saudi or Thai princes? or from another country? I have. Bunch of rotten little bastards, they use it as a pickup line in Hollywood bars. In countries where there is an oligarchy, (like the USA, ALL of the U.S. presidents are descendants of King Edward the second except I think Madison and Polk, they're all one family they just don't advertise it very much, you can look it up online their lineage is traced back several hundred years.) the family obviously has a strong sense of entitlement and the sons of the royal family are spoiled and the worst are the Persian kids who see women as possessions, slavery is still legal in the middle east and Africa, and they treat those women bad, real bad, and come here and flash their daddy's credit card and treat all USA women like shit, but they still come running and yeah I think Charles isn't that bad prince wise. His grandmother kept the Chinese hooked on Opium for 100 years remember, he's from a vicious and scandalous line of cutthroats and murderers, MASS murderers like King Henry VIII......OH MY LORD I just understood that's what you meant, a GOOD prince is Machiavellian.....lol I was gonna erase that comment then thought nah, let her think "this guy missed what I was saying"
@@ivandamico93 Madison and Polk descend from English kings as well. The only President who didnt descend from an English king is the only President we've had who wasn't of English descent, the Dutch one.
It isn't because they're actually family but because literally every person with any English ancestry will descend from royalty if you go back far enough. It's just a mathematical fact.
Everyone with any western European ancestry at all descends from Charlemagne. It isn't a conspiracy.
Eddie well, yes, if you let the king have all the virgins in his territory you're going to have descendants exponentially multiply, I think that would make it a conspiracy!
@@ivandamico93 lol i think youre watching too many movies that's a total myth.. You're talking about the king having a right to sleep with every woman in the kingdom before her husband does right? or something else??
