skimming it again You've only read it's like four million
- 00:20
times Okay here's our question where would someone who embraced
- 00:24
this philosophy most likely have lived during the renaissance in
- 00:28
your pencil And already at least for a long long
- 00:31
time ago in a galaxy not too faraway machiavelli decided
- 00:34
that it was way too risky to rely on one's
- 00:36
own subjects to decide if they love you or not
- 00:39
and since he wasn't much of a risk taker he
- 00:41
figured it was easier to simply make them fear you
- 00:43
instead which is an interesting idea but we have a
- 00:46
feeling that it didn't translate too well to his love
- 00:49
of life But where would this interesting idea likely have
- 00:53
originated from during the renaissance period We'll probably wouldn't be
- 00:57
france because in the early fourteenth century stages of the
- 00:59
renaissance france was all about christian humanism which had elements
- 01:03
Of the sort of civic humanism that machiavelli employed but
- 01:06
with a far more well you know jesus eat till
- 01:09
it wasn't until a couple centuries later france dropped the
- 01:12
christian and started speaking more about humanism alone Christian humanism
- 01:16
was big in spain as well where the idea was
- 01:19
great christian unity based on individual choice and seeing his
- 01:22
portugal was barely touched by humanism at the time and
- 01:25
also tended to mimic spain We can rule it out
- 01:28
as well Mon fortune will find your own style well
- 01:30
that leaves us with more less obvious answer of a
- 01:33
italy When you think of the renaissance and when you
- 01:35
hear a name is italian is machiavelli you think of
- 01:39
italy at least we hope you do Machiavelli believed that
- 01:42
a successful republic required widespread civic participation and since italy
- 01:47
was known as the heartland of civic humanism which champion
- 01:50
that very idea it's pretty quick pick out a is
- 01:53
the correct answer here Now back to shmoop teaches italian 00:01:56.316 --> [endTime] ferrari rago let go My ego We're practically fluent
