I want to start talking about who was Machiavelli. 2:25 How do I read the Prince? 2:28 Machiavelli was a Florentine. To know that she knows 2:32 Almost everything you need to know about. 2:36 I'm exaggerating, but I do it to make the point. 2:41 Florence was a republic. It was the state of the city. 2:45 Machiavelli spent much of his adult life 2:50 Service of the Republic. Living in Florence 2:54 Renaissance Center at the height of Renais 2:59 sance, Machiavelli wanted to do 3:01 Politics what his generation, 3:03 Like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, 3:06 Did art and sculpture. In other words, 3:11 He hopes to revive Somehow the ancient spirit of 3:15 In ancient times, but his lights to change it 3:18 Experience. As he puts it, Inauguration 3:21 His most famous book, he writes that this book 3:25 Prince "is a product of long experience with modern things 3:29 And continuous reading of ancient ones. " 3:33 In Machiavelli, we have what we have come to 3:36 Called "modernity," the first expression given its most powerful 3:42 Sion. Machiavelli was kind of a political junkie, 5:25 You could say the things going on in Italy 5:29 And still there. One of those letters, 5:32 Famous letter to his friend, a guy named Francesco Vettori, 5:37 He describes how he got to write his most famous book. 5:41 I want to read an excerpt of this letter. 5:43 Also, I'd say, on the basis of this letter, 5:47 And so I ask people from time to time to remove their 5:52 Caps in the classroom, from school. 5:55 Machiavelli went this way to learn. 5:58 "When evening comes," - he writes, "When evening comes, 6:01 I go back to my house and go to my study. 6:04 At the door, I take off the clothes 6:07 Now covered with mud and dirt put on my regal 6:11 Yard clothes. And reclothed fairly, 6:14 I entered the ancient court of ancient men, where he received by 6:19 Them with love, I feed on that food alone 6:23 It's mine, because I was born. No I'm not ashamed to talk 6:28 With them and ask them the reasons for their actions 6:31 They, their humanity, answer me. 6:34 And the space of four hours every night, I do not feel bored. 6:38 I forget all the pain. I'm not afraid of poverty and death 6:42 Does not scare me. I give myself entirely to the 6:47 Them. And since Dante says that in order to 6:49 I do not unguarded 6:52 Knowledge, I should point out what I capital 6:54 Their conversations have become complex 6:57 Some work on the emirates, where I dive as deep as I 7:01 Can and reflections on this subject, debating what 7:06 The principality is, what are the types, 7:09 How they have acquired, how they maintained, 7:13 Why they lost. . "The difficulty in reading 8:51 Machiavelli is the day we all think we already know what is 8:57 Know this is a lie. Machiavelli was a revolutionary. 9:04 Preface to his greatest book, Discourse on 9:08 Libby, he compares himself to Christopher Columbus on his 9:12 The discovery of what he calls "new situations commands." 9:16 What Columbus did Geography, he argues that Machiavelli 9:21 Do politics. Ie, 9:24 Discover a whole new continent, new world 9:28 Supposedly, the new world of Machiavelli. 9:31 New world of Machiavelli, his new order states, 9:35 Will require, clearly, the displacement 9:39 First one, of his predecessor. 9:42 , The model of Republican Rome. 10:40 There are a lot of his writing the kind of reminds 10:44 Exceptional abilities and qualities of the citizens 10:48 Old Republican in the state. 10:51 But you could say just as Machiavelli broke with 10:54 Dominant model of Christian universalism, 10:57 The same is to reject the old model of small, 11:03 Autonomous republican state. He makes it clear famous 11:08 Transition at the beginning of Chapter 15 of the Prince. He says the truth of things effectively. 12:12 The truth of the matter effectively, not the imagination of 12:17 Or it's utopia. This passage is often taken 12:21 Be, the beginning of Chapter 15, the essence of Machiavelli 12:26 Realism, a kind of realpolitik, 12:28 So to speak. His appeal of the "need" to 12:31 "He," take the direction of one again, effective from the truth 12:34 Of things. It seems, 12:37 In many ways, the nature of his teaching. 12:40 To create a new form of political organization 13:58 Significant than his. What we would call today 14:02 The modern state. Machiavelli was the founder, 14:05 Reveals, the inventor of the modern 14:08 State. 14:13 This modern, secular state, Machiavelli's own country has universal aspirations, 14:52 "He says the opening sentence 17:04 Chapter 1. After two distinguished 17:07 Only two types of regimes, 17:09 Republics and principalities, as the only ones worth 17:13 Mention, but then goes on Machiavelli 17:52 Tell the reader that the sole subject of this book 17:57 Will be a new prince. The recipient of this book has to be necessarily the potential 18:23 Prince. Ie, 18:25 Anyone with nerve enough to create a political 18:29 Their authority, which did not just accept it 18:34 From the past, but to create their own 18:36 Authority. Perhaps one might even say 18:39 Machiavelli's Prince is, in a sense, the first truly 18:42 Man-made self. 18:46 "They had nothing else from the capital," he says, 20:50 Again, "than the opportunity," the event, 20:53 That "it gave them and allows them to view all 20:58 Way they want. "In, Short argues that Machiavelli 21:02 These were the founders created, a former nihilo, 21:07 Out of nothing. They just had an incident at 21:11 Kind of amorphous material, which could be endorsed 21:16 Impose any form they took. And they were, 21:20 Of course, the emotional strength, as well as the gall 21:24 Cunning, exploit this situation. 21:27 , Personal unusual people 23:02 Features that allow them to bring the laws, 23:05 To be bringers of law, lawgivers, designers 23:09 Reforms and institutions that govern our opinions 23:15 Lives. Occupy mainly by changing the 25:17 Our understanding of good and evil, 25:19 Virtue and vice. In other words, 25:23 To make people obey you, you must first make them 25:27 Believe you. Prince Machiavelli's prophetic, 25:31 In other words, probably some features 25:35 The philosopher, as well as reformer 25:39 Trying to reshape and remold human opinion, 25:44 Especially an opinion on, as we said, good and evil, 25:49 Just not right. What is the beneficiary, 25:53 So to speak, or complex change? 25:56 We might even read that Machiavelli garden 26:00 Good and Evil, Midnight in the Garden Good 26:03 Bad for Machiavelli. 26:11 A point often attributed to Machiavelli is that he 26:19 Introduced a new type of immoralism politics. 26:27 . He was not just a teacher 27:08 Political pragmatism, of how to adapt the means to match 27:12 The edges. I think he offers nothing 27:15 In short a comprehensive revolution, transformation. 27:19 If you want to use the Nietzschean language, 27:23 "Transvaluation" the most basic vocabulary for the good of our 27:28 Evil. Machiavelli did not reject the 27:31 Good idea. Instead, it redefines it. 27:36 . What distinguishes Machiavelli 28:26 Any of his predecessors, in many ways, 28:28 He and his attempt to take the unusual situation, 28:32 Extreme situation, again, the ends of 28:35 Political establishment, conspiracies, 28:38 Wars, revolutions, as in normal 28:43 Then makes it necessary to give extreme. 28:48 In other words, his point is that the good is only 30:47 It is possible that the pre-existence of evil. 30:51 Prince Machiavelli seeks the war, because it's just, 32:46 Again, the most extreme situations a person can thrive 32:50 And be prosperous. Think of the lines once again 32:54 From the movie. "For 30 years under 32:58 Borgias, violence, murder, terrorism, 33:02 Bloodshed. But what did it produce? 33:05 The greatness of an unprecedented type. 33:07 Stability, democracy, brotherhood, 33:11 Hello. What is producing? 33:14 Mediocrity, the cuckoo clock. "There may be a little more 33:21 Nietzsche suggested that, rather than Machiavelli, 33:24 But I think very significant clues Makiabali. 33:29 Take just the following. Every child, 33:33 Each of you, each of us grew up 33:36 To know that nobody has to make a mistake, even if good results 33:42 They saw to follow. It's not right to give bad 33:46 Examples to others, even if one expects good 33:50 Come from her. However, these breaks Machiavelli 33:53 Rules about not giving bad examples. 33:56 Degree is not related to the classical concepts 33:59 Moderation, justice, self-control on 34:03 Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity. 34:07 He says a cost of male self-assertion, 34:12 Audacity, cruelty, relying on his own hands 34:17 Use of cruelty is calculated to achieve one's ends. |
