Machiavelli and his Teachings

In 1512, Medicis held power in Florence, Italy, exiled or killed all those who thought they were enemies. Among their so-called enemies, an easy-to-read Florentine official named Niccolo Machiavelli was arrested and tortured for conspiring to kill Medicys. The evidence against him was weak, he was eventually released but he did not return to the government. Instead, he retired to his house in that country and turned his attention to writing.

From the exposition in front of Machiavelli's teachings (completely incomplete) it is easy for Machiavelli's idea to not only cause a considerable controversy among the 16th century readers when he was condemned as a devil You can understand. The apostles are also various readers of the present age. The main cause of the controversy is clearly the attitude towards traditional moral and religious standards of Machiavelli's human behavior. For many people, his teachings dominate immorality, but I think it is more correct to say that Machiavelli's position is immoral. Leo Strauss (1958, 9 - 10) announced one of the most famous versions of this reading and discovered that Machiavelli is a devil apostle. Strauss accused Machiavelli for recommending the prince to refrain from using justice, compassion, motivation, wisdom, love for his people rather than using cruelty, violence, fear and deception.

Prince Machiavelli is known as a classic. In today's modern society, I think some of Machiavelli's recommendations are related. His initial suggestion is to teach us how to master the military knowledge is an important quality that the Prince can achieve. Secondly, people are real friends and should be real enemies. Third, Machiavelli said, please do not spare your money, you only have to raise the tax, and you lose support of your citizen. Fourth, in order for the Prince to gain his or her support, your work is over before it begins. Italian philosophers and politician Niccolo Machiavelli of the fifteenth century also had a similar political view, reflecting a strong leader of modern politics. There is no doubt that he is a potential candidate for Secretary of State, but there are also some political views on the specific topic that many people may not agree today.
