Machiavelli Machiavelli lived during the Renaissance era of the Medieval times. In this time period many concepts and ideas were being reborn‚ including the Christian faith. He lived during a time period in which the people of the time thought of the Black Plague as a symptom of judgment upon the sinfulness of the land. These same people began to scourge themselves in order to express their sorrow and therefore remove God’s judgment laid upon them. Although Machiavelli lived long after the fall

The Discourses on Livy by Niccolò Machiavelli and Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes provide two views on popular resistance that stand in stark contrast with each other. Whereas the former celebrates class conflict as essential to the health of a Republic‚ the latter condemns nearly all forms of resistance (save for one exception). In my essay I will elaborate on Machiavelli’s view of class conflict‚ Hobbes’ view on the matter‚ and then contrast their views and the underlying reasons for these differences

To Pleasure A Prince by Sabrina Jeffries is very close to being a wallbanger for me because the hero in this book is truly hard to tolerate and the heroine’s "growing affection" for him comes off like increasing desperation on her part to emulate her martyr-prone romance heroine sisters. On one hand‚ I try to be patient with this book. I’ve read bad boy heroes who push the limits of acceptable behavior‚ enjoy these books‚ and there’s that. But Marcus North isn’t a bad boy as much as he comes off

To what extent was Humanism the main reason that the Renaissance occurred? I would say that Humanism is a somewhat important‚ yet not crucial‚ factor in the birth of the Renaissance. I feel that the most important factor was the stability of Italy after the Peace of Lodi‚ followed closely by the Wealth of Italy and her trade with the far east. I consider Humanism to be less crucial than these two factors‚ but more important than the Printing Press and the newfound hunger for knowledge that became

According to Nick Bostrom trans-humanism is one of the well debated upon contemporary ethical issues of the twenty-first century. Bostrom identifies trans-humanism as the process of transition from the limited nature of human beings to a more advanced being- post-human –that can outperform the current limits incarcerating present human beings. In order to achieve that higher life‚ Bostrom elucidates that it is only achievable through embracing technology and genetic engineering. Science and technological
