Machiavelli Quiz
"The Prince is a concise statement of Machiavell's belief that classical and Christian political theory is unworkable in a world that defines politics as the exercise of power and the struggle for power. It is also implicitly a rejection of a nihilistic counterethic, that only power and brute force matter."
Discuss to what extent you agree or disagree with this statement. What evidence can you bring to support your position?
- (Dante Germino, Machiavelli to Marx: Modern Western Political Thought, p. 32)
