Short para on Machiavelli

[p3t3r1]

Hi, I would really appricate it if someone could read this over and point out my mistakes. Thanks alot. It should be a fun read.

Humanism is the school of thought that emphasizes the importance of man, men’s greatness, and men’s potential. It is essentially an exploration of the human nature. Human nature is a topic that Machiavelli discusses much in The Prince. For example, in Chapter III, he points out that “men change masters voluntarily believing that they can better themselves”. In Chapter XVII, he states that “men forget more easily the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony.” By many remarks like those, Machiavelli has demonstrated that humans really are selfish with a sole interest in material wealth and glory. All the actions that men do are aimed at self-betterment as they see it then anything else. This paints a chilling picture of men that is in some ways very much the study of humanism.
