individual man.

classical Greek
and Roman poetry
and history.

known as a
Renaissance Man

botany, anatomy,

The brush endlessly
dripping onto my
face.”

Michaelangelo between
1501 and 1504.

NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI
Is it better to be loved or
feared?
• Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than
feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should
wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one
person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two,
either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in
general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly,
covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they
will offer you their blood, property, life, and children, as is said
above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they
turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their
promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined; because
friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or
nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured,
and in time of need cannot be relied upon; and men have less
scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for
love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the
baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage;
but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.

“He must endeavour only to avoid hated”
–N.Machiavelli
• Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he
does not win love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very
well being feared whilst he is not hated, which will always be as long
as he abstains from the property of his citizens and subjects and
from their women. But when it is necessary for him to proceed
against the life of someone, he must do it on proper justification and
for manifest cause, but above all things he must keep his hands off
the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of
their father than the loss of their patrimony. Besides, pretexts for
taking away the property are never wanting; for he who has once
begun to live by robbery will always find pretexts for seizing what
belongs to others; but reasons for taking life, on the contrary, are
more difficult to find and sooner lapse. But when a prince is with his
army, and has under control a multitude of soldiers, then it is quite
necessary for him to disregard the reputation of cruelty, for without it
he would never hold his army united or disposed to its duties.

Effects of printing
•
•
•
•
Vast increase in literacy.
Rapid dissemination of ideas.
Standardization of spelling.
Stimulus toward accuracy, since works were now more likely to
be read by others as knowledgeable in a subject as the author.
• Change in our concept of "fact"
– Before printing, documents were suspect as too easily forged.
Eyewitnesses and personal testimony were considered more
reliable.
– Printing made documents more authoritative than personal
testimony. Hard to fake printed documents.
– Before printing, people relied on memory to store facts.
– Printing changed the concept of "fact" to "printed fact"; "show me in
black and white."
