Plato vs. Machiavelli on Political Philosophy
"In this lecture series, Dr. Peter Kreeft examines key ideas in philosophy by comparing and contrasting two representative philosophers in each episode. In lecture 2, Dr. Kreeft examines the importance of finding and defining the fundamental differences between Plato—whose logic is inductive, deductive, and seductive–and Machiavelli —who, 2,000 years after Plato, set out a radical alternative to Plato’s ideal city and ruler." from video introduction
