Rebellion vs. confromism

[AntiochusIII]

Of course it's a creation, but there's creations that are founded beyond all doubt and constitutes the basis of system (axiological concepts) and those that can change subjectevly. I also have a problem with monogamy, I follow Rouseau.

Gah. I hate Rousseau. Reading him gives me migraine.

I'm argentinian remember?...Anyway I understood what you were trying to say. "Il Principe" is one of my favuorites readings.

However, remember that Machiavelli and Machiavellian are actually rather different. Many scholars argue that Machiavelli himself (the author) is not a Machiavellian; I do not know that in detail, but I believe it's along the lines of examining Machiavelli's later writings--in The Prince, he condemns the "evil dictators," for one. The "Machiavellian" philosophy, on the other hand, justifies whatever means necessary for an achievable goal, even if it's Stalinistic means. In other words the utterly pragmatic point of view.
