POLITICAL THEORY - Niccolò Machiavelli by The School of Life
Some questions:
- The video above says: "We're often appalled by how sly and dishonest many politicians are, but we shouldn't be. In moods like this we need to remember and read the works of Niccolo Machiavelli." Do you agree?
- Helen asked whether there are any notable examples of countries where politicians who have adopted a Machiavellian approach achieved success. Her question suggests that such examples may not be immediately obvious. If political strategies based on Machiavellian principles are indeed effective, why then are these approaches not more widely adopted? See answer from Bing co-pilot here.
- Why do politicians and leaders, in many countries, adopt a mostly ethical approach to their politics?
