Niccolò Machiavelli is one of the most important philosophers and arguably one of the catalysts of modernity. He is famous for his short work, a Primer for Princes, also known as The Prince. But his other great work, The Discourses on Livy, is more profound and deals with politics, religion, liberty, slavery, and civilization. In this series of online lectures, I explain and explore the core concepts of Machiavelli’s epic masterpiece of philosophy and politics.
LECTURE ONE: SUMMARY & ANALYSIS OF THE DISCOURSES ON LIVY
LECTURE TWO: LIBERTY & SLAVERY IN THE DISCOURSES
LECTURE THREE: WHAT IS LIBERTY ACCORDING TO MACHIAVELLI?
LECTURE FOUR: MACHIAVELLI ON RELIGION
