Machievelli- "Of Clemency and Cruelty"

Machiavelli is a politician in Florence. In 1512, the Republic of Florence collapsed and the power of Medico recovered. Machiavelli was a traitor and sent to prison where he was tortured and threatened with execution 1 He was later released from prison. He went to this country to write "Prince." He wanted to show it to Lorenzo Medici as his faithful performer, but it did not bring out the effect that Machiavelli had imagined. He will never regain the political position he enjoyed earlier.

Regarding cruelty and forgiveness, he again obviously violated classical political ethics. At Seneca 's De Clementia, atrocities are said to be avoided by bad habits, good prince (I, 26, i). And Machiavelli passed the proposal: & lt; Tab / & gt; is completely incompatible with this. Machiavelli continues to evaluate that fear is better than loved. Fear causes fear of punishment, and the bondage of love is brittle and fragile. He used the example of Cesare Borgia, and his cruelty has led to stability. He insisted that it is best to take some examples to maintain stability, not mercy, and to fully endanger the country. He believes that it is important not to hate, so the prince should avoid "understanding his realization of citizens and subjects and women's property." (P.59) Here he fully agrees with Aristotle's politics, contrary to refusing Seneca's cruel view.

Machiavelli pointed out that each prince is considered cruel but rather benevolent. But cruelty has advantages. After all, Cesare Bogia has committed countless cruelty - but the final result is a united strong commitment. Machiavelli's conclusion is that in fact Cesare's "cruelty" seems to be in fact his "forgiveness" (benevolent). Bad fate. If these punishment than help to create the political stability, cruel punishment possible prince is not cruel; if benevolent prince to prosperity disorder and crime, forgive that hurt everyone, it is true kindness It is not.

The first step in protecting animals and developing effective cruel laws is to know cruelty for animals. There are two types of passive atrocities and active atrocities. One is dropout. This means that abuse occurs due to lack of negligence or behavior. Passive abuse may not seem so serious, but it is not the case; it leads to severe pain and suffering, eventually leading to death. Examples include hunger, dehydration, untreated parasitic infections, inadequate evacuation centers in extreme weather conditions, and inability to receive medical care. Since passive abuse is often caused by owner's ignorance, many animal management staff first try to educate the negligent owner about how to properly take care of animals, then cite them or arrest them To do.
