Document Summary
Midterm= 5 questions, one question on each writer we talked about (15 minutes per question) Good way to study is too bring up the state of nature and then social contract (how to get out of the state of nature) for each person. Cycles: things repeat themselves, we will hit the same cycle and the same things, we can learn from the past unlike what they thought before (rome). We can stop at a democracy for a period but even that will fall apart. Each positive form will deteriorate into a negative form of government. Ideal leader: bad to be too generous because there are expectations. You must be willing to commit immoral acts in order to prevent other immoral acts. You have to be able to get your hands dirty and know when to make that judgment. Virtu: chance and fortuna: knowing when to make that decision.
