Machiavelli in Context
68
 
 

altMachiavelli in Context

(24 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture)
Taught by William R. Cook
State University of New York at Geneseo
Ph.D., Cornell University

Mentioning the name Niccolò Machiavelli can unleash a powerful response, even among people who have never read a word of his writings. Our language even has a word—Machiavellian—that encapsulates the images those responses conjure up:
An indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power, hatching plots to play one rival against another
A cold-blooded political liar, ready to justify any duplicity undertaken in the name of a noble end that will ultimately justify the most malignant means

Books That Have Made History: Books That Can Change Your LifeBooks That Have Made History: Books That Can Change Your Life

What makes a written work eternal—its message still so fundamental to the way we live that it continues to speak to us, hundreds or thousands of years distant from the lifetime of its author?

Why do we still respond to an ancient Greek playwright's tale of the Titan so committed to humanity's survival that he is willing to endure eternal torture in his defiance of the gods? To the cold advice of a 16th-century Florentine exiled from the corridors of power? To the words of a World War I German veteran writing of the horrors of endless trench warfare?
