Philip wants to tax the french clergy members. Avignon papacy (not in france, just very close) Used the classics to support their ideas (not the bible) Both want the common good, just deine it diferently. Not only uses the classics, but modern politics as well. He is the father of political science. Uses lots of hypotheticals - a modern idea. Better to be feared than loved doesn"t really matter if your people love you. Preserve the state over all whatever it takes. Ruler should be nice and loving; like a father, treating his people as children. Spend money on infrastructure, education: to better people.
