Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by italy Did you know we're

00:07

fluent in italian bbt poppa t fettuccini alfredo mario brothers

00:12

sorry talents were not stereotyping you at all There take

00:15

a look the following passage it's machiavelli thing we're just

00:18

skimming it again You've only read it's like four million

00:20

times Okay here's our question where would someone who embraced

00:24

this philosophy most likely have lived during the renaissance in

00:28

your pencil And already at least for a long long

00:31

time ago in a galaxy not too faraway machiavelli decided

00:34

that it was way too risky to rely on one's

00:36

own subjects to decide if they love you or not

00:39

and since he wasn't much of a risk taker he

00:41

figured it was easier to simply make them fear you

00:43

instead which is an interesting idea but we have a

00:46

feeling that it didn't translate too well to his love

00:49

of life But where would this interesting idea likely have

00:53

originated from during the renaissance period We'll probably wouldn't be

00:57

france because in the early fourteenth century stages of the

00:59

renaissance france was all about christian humanism which had elements

01:03

Of the sort of civic humanism that machiavelli employed but

01:06

with a far more well you know jesus eat till

01:09

it wasn't until a couple centuries later france dropped the

01:12

christian and started speaking more about humanism alone Christian humanism

01:16

was big in spain as well where the idea was

01:19

great christian unity based on individual choice and seeing his

01:22

portugal was barely touched by humanism at the time and

01:25

also tended to mimic spain We can rule it out

01:28

as well Mon fortune will find your own style well

01:30

that leaves us with more less obvious answer of a

01:33

italy When you think of the renaissance and when you

01:35

hear a name is italian is machiavelli you think of

01:39

italy at least we hope you do Machiavelli believed that

01:42

a successful republic required widespread civic participation and since italy

01:47

was known as the heartland of civic humanism which champion

01:50

that very idea it's pretty quick pick out a is

01:53

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
