| Jun 16, 2017 at 21:22 | comment | added | DukeZhou | I caution you not to restrict yourself to a purely "Western" outlook. i.e. I'm guessing most American politicians have read The Prince, but not the Three Kingdoms, which is also, in part, a manual for good governance based on historical precedent that has been subsequently parabolized. I'd also recommend looking into Game Theory, but that's because I take an economic view of history and believe ethics to be rooted in mathematics, and equilibria in particular. | |

Machiavelli takes such a strong stand on empirical philosophy that for everything he says, he gives a historical example (his repertoire of examples ranging from ancient Rome to Renaissance Italy). | |
