Document Summary
Mach is not a teacher of evil, he is a teacher of the functional. - men never do anything good except when forced to. -- first outlines this point w/ the example of the nobles treating the populace when the tarquins were a threat, and ceasing to do so after they were not (simulate the tarquins the tribunes) Ultimate teaching is to demonstrate the evils of voluntary servitude. --framing something as strange, when in actuality it was quite common at the time (cause the reader to have a change of perspective) -- attacking the tyrannical ruler in superficial ways (calling them weak and effeminate) - notion that human nature goes against the rule of a tyrant . -- rule is artificial, not natural, and harmful people are naturally free, but allow themselves to be dominated (the natural end to human nature is fraternal and free)
