skimming it again You've only read it's like four million
times Okay here's our question where would someone who embraced
this philosophy most likely have lived during the renaissance in
your pencil And already at least for a long long
time ago in a galaxy not too faraway machiavelli decided
that it was way too risky to rely on one's
own subjects to decide if they love you or not
and since he wasn't much of a risk taker he
figured it was easier to simply make them fear you
instead which is an interesting idea but we have a
feeling that it didn't translate too well to his love
of life But where would this interesting idea likely have
originated from during the renaissance period We'll probably wouldn't be
france because in the early fourteenth century stages of the
renaissance france was all about christian humanism which had elements
Of the sort of civic humanism that machiavelli employed but
with a far more well you know jesus eat till
it wasn't until a couple centuries later france dropped the
christian and started speaking more about humanism alone Christian humanism
was big in spain as well where the idea was
great christian unity based on individual choice and seeing his
portugal was barely touched by humanism at the time and
also tended to mimic spain We can rule it out
as well Mon fortune will find your own style well
that leaves us with more less obvious answer of a
italy When you think of the renaissance and when you
hear a name is italian is machiavelli you think of
italy at least we hope you do Machiavelli believed that
a successful republic required widespread civic participation and since italy
was known as the heartland of civic humanism which champion
that very idea it's pretty quick pick out a is
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
