Nicolo Machiavelli's The Prince PART 2 - The Tucson Philosophy Group

Though the connotations of the name Machiavelli may bring to mind the worst, but often true aspects of human nature, particularly when examining the kind of behavior exhibited by persons in power. Contrary to popular misconception, he was not in favor of leaders exhibiting cruelty nor evil in order to rule effectively. And this presentation will attempt to leave attendees with a more positive outlook than might be expected. I'll upload a reading or a link here in advance of the meeting. Ron

Seeming a particularly timely topic, given the proximity of the upcoming mid-term elections, we will explore the applicability of Machiavelli'sThe Prince to modern political theory.

Examine the oxymoron of ethics in politics? Discuss "must you be mean to justify your ends?" Join us for these and other probing matters. Ross
