37 views4 pages

Document Summary

Chapter 15- about those factors that cause men, and especially rulers, to be praised or censured. I thought it sensible to go straight to a discussion of an imaginary world. Ruler- to hold onto power, learn how not to be good, and know when and when not to use this knowledge. You have to be astutue enough to avoid being thought to have those evil qualities that would make it impossible for you to retain power. Chapter 17- about cruelty and compassion; and about whether it is better to be loved than feared, or the reverse: more compassionate to impose harsh punishments on a few than allow disorder to. Men are less nervous of offending someone who makes himself lovable, than someone who makes himself frightening. For love ataches men by ties of oblication, which, since men are wicked, they break wheneer their interests are at stake. : comment: lovable vs. being loved.
