The Lectures Series: Niccolò Machiavelli and “The Dark Nature of Humanity” — Dr. Niv Goldstein
15 February 2027
Was Niccolò Machiavelli right when he stated that human beings are evil and treacherous, and that only an unconstrained ruler is the solution to humanity’s ills?
Through his book The Prince, considered a pocket guide for the aspiring tyrant, we will examine the ideas of one of history’s most controversial thinkers. We will understand how Machiavelli’s name became a derogatory term and ask whether his character and teachings have been misunderstood for centuries.
As usual, Niv incorporates examples from popular culture, illustrating complex philosophical ideas in a witty and accessible way.
