The Northern Renaissance: Crash Course European History #3
Рет қаралды 1,306,913
Күн бұрынThe European Renaissance may have started in Florence, but it pretty quickly moved out of Italy and spread the art, architecture, literature, and humanism across Europe to places like France, Spain, England, and the Low Countries.

Machiavelli isn't the father of classical Liberalism, because CL begin in early 18th century England with Adam smith, Stuart Mill et altri. Besides, CL is an economical doctrine based on Calvinism, not an amoral negative anthropology, which was what Machiavelli created. As for Thomas More, he did in fact intimately opposed Anglicanism but he did not oppose Henry's divorce because he said nothing against it or in favor of it. The king interpreted this silence as hostility towards his actions and had him executed. Yes, Henry the VIII was a Machiavellian. Thank you for your post, it was an interesting read.

Sad to see you omit the continuation of Machiavelli's "better be feared than loved" instruction: "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated." That caricature of Machiavelli as a sociopath writing instruction books for tyrants is regrettably common.
@Abahrelgazalia 5 жыл бұрын
Also, sad to see Machiavelli discussed solely through the Prince. His Discourses paints a much more nuanced picture of his political views. He was interested in political stability, which could be achieved either through effective authoritarianism (The Prince) OR through a complex system of laws designed to inhibit rapid change in a Republic (Discourses).

Some other good points that The Prince was not meant to be good advice: - One of his more famous pieces of advice is to arm native country men as they are by far more favorable than foreign armies or mercenaries. This seems like good advice at first, until you consider that he's giving it to a tyrant ruling over a former republic (one which had a previous republican uprising that was thwarted). The ruler's own countrymen, if armed, are likely to overthrow him. - He advises ruling from within the city itself rather than being removed from the city. This, again, seems like bad advice that would make an overthrow far easier.

@@russellconklin960 Only unpopular leaders are in danger of a coup. If you follow "The Prince" then you won't be unpopular. -The average person does not want anything from their government. They just want to not be oppressed and left alone. Avoid cramming down your values on your subjects for they will resent you. -If you must punish the populace or a rebellious subject nation then make it swift and brutal. Quick punishments are forgotten but long humiliations only further stir up resentment. If only Germany had listened to this advice when making the French pay reparations in 1871. Or the French in 1919. Or the Xiongnu who demanded yearly tribute from China. -Avoid supporting allies who actively oppress their people as this will hurt your own popularity. Other great advice: -People with little power must use "fortuna" or luck/chance to gain more power. People with lots of power should avoid taking such large risks and instead rely on "virtue" or stability. This is basic game theory.

Machiavelli’s masterwork was the Discourses on Livy which is a great critique of classical understandings of history and gives a good idea of his political philosophy. The Prince is the most famous because it’s the most direct and digestible. Keep in mind though that, his main political goal was to create a “safe” Italy. He was a proto-nationalist which is why you see subtle hints directly to the Borgia’s to use their control of the Papacy to take over and unify the Italian peninsula and make the Pope into a hereditary monarch. He also believed that extreme acts of violence would be justified in achieving this end but also gave sound advice on soft power.

Even in the discourse he notes that a strong republic must be founded by a powerful autocrat who then gives power to a republic. Reading the discourse on livy is integral to really understanding the point of the prince

elfarlaur The Prince is great as an introduction and encapsulates Machiavelli so well that it’s perfect for any overview of political philosophy. But yeah if you want to delve seriously into his work and engage with his ideas, you HAVE to read Discourses. John mentioned Art of War but Machiavelli also wrote a play, La Mandragola. It’s actually pretty funny and has some subtext that you can spot if you’re familiar with his other work.

I know that you dont have a ton of time on these, but I wish you had given Machiavelli the proper context. If one reads his other writings you realise that his purpose in The Prince is to tell virtuous leaders what they will need to do in order to improve society. Machiavelli's prince is ultimately selfless in that they must establish institutions that promote stability but which render the Prince obsolete. Machiavelli is a realistic idealist, he wants a better world but understands that it can only be achieved by winning under the rules of our worse one.

A pet-peeve of mine is when people quote Machiavelli only partially, usually for the purpose of making him sound more misanthropic than he was (albeit not as big a pet peeve as when people use the term "Machiavellian" without having actually read either _The Prince_ or _The Discourses_ ). After explaining that its best to be loved _and_ feared, but since this is difficult, err on the side of being feared, Machiavelli continues: "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, *if he does not win love, he avoids hatred;* because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated" (emphasis mine) ...and then goes on to explain what makes a Prince hated in a manner that doesn't translate well today. People often ignore that part - and not just people who want to make a devil of Machiavelli, also people who rule poorly (read: corporate management). Also, people tend to ignore _The Discourses_ entirely, despite the fact that it has a very different tone than _The Prince_ (as the former is for the most effective way to run a republic and the latter the most effective way to run a monarchy)

Hi Hank, thank u so much! I never went to high school, but I managed to pass a science test only by watching your videos! I have one comment on a video u made about the isreali palastinan conflict, u forgot to mention that 800,000 Jews from had to flee Arab countries when isreal was established in 1948, in other words, just like when India and Pakistan were established there was a REFUGEE SWAB, the very same thing happened her

@9:38. If this idea seems a bit twisted and cynical... you'd be right. it is. in fact, his entire point was that while yes, its better to be feared than love, they aren't mutually exclusive, and that they are two different and possibly related beasts. In the original Italian, it is dripping with sarcasm. His whole point was that it is a dumb dichotomy, and the real answer is both. The people should fear you because of the power and authority you wield, but also love you because of the protection and proper governance.
@slitor 5 жыл бұрын
"but also love you because of the protection and proper governance." because that is a given? Consider the strongmen in history, who did they hurt the most other then their own subjects. Now correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't he blindly lay all the moral justification on the office, not considering that the wielder of said office is human as well? In the end its all about ego and identity. A Zero Sum game mentality which people like Sayyid Qubt also spoke out for after he was tortured.

The prince is not satire. It was a plan to unite Italy and Machiavelli lead an army at one point to do just that. Maybe you should read the Prince and learn about the life of Machiavelli.

Overall there are a lot of regions and countries in Europe that people just forgot about: Scandinavia - vikings... and nothing else Poland - World War II, Wałęsa, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth seemingly did not exist Hungary - exist only when combined with Austria Greece - just disappeared after Romans conquered it. And appears magicly during World War II Balkans - this region existed beofre 20th century? The Rus - started existing after Russia formed, but everything before Soviet Union was just a prologue, Nicolas II was seemingly the only ruler of Russia, also Ukraine and Belarus are just smaller Russias Romania - vampires and sometimes assumed to be Slavic Portugal - appears during colonization, disappears after it Baltic - they are Balkans, right? No? So, they are Russia? Also PLC not existing when speaking about Lithuania Czechia - they were par of HRE, so they are part of Germany? And Czechoslovakia Slovakia - they are not Czechia? Finnland - wait, that thing exists?
