      Read the two texts and answer the questions.  
      The prince must learn from history and the accomplishments of celebrated men, [...] observe how they conducted themselves in war and analyse how they became victorious or were defeated, in order to achieve victory and avoid defeat. […]. My aim is to write things that will serve those who read them and I believe it is best to try for the effective truth of things, not be ideal […]. because all things considered, there will be qualities that appear to be virtues, but will result in ruin if we apply them and others that appear to be vices and will result in security and wellbeing if we apply them. Niccolo MACHIAVELLI
      The Prince       (Tranlsated and adapted)
       
      But because the Christian church was founded, strengthened and enriched with blood, everything is resolved with the blade of a sword […] Although war is so cruel, which serves the interests of beasts better than men; it is so foolish that poets depict it as inspired by the Furies; so terrible that it causes the collapse of public customs; so unjust that the most evil criminals are best at it, and so ungodly that it bears no relation to Christ’s teachings, the Popes ignore all this to engage in it. […] This is why we see decrepit old people, full of youthful enthusiasm […] thinking it is permissible to wield the murderous knife and sink it into the guts of their brothers without prejudice to perfect charity, which according to Christ’s orders, every Christian should offer his neighbour.   Erasmus OF ROTTERDAM
      The Praise of Folly       (Translated and adapted)
            What do the authors of The Prince and The Praise of Folly have in common?
      Who is each work directed at?
      What advice does Machiavelli give the governors?
      What does Erasmus criticise?
      Which features of humanist philosophy can be found in the ideas expressed in each text?
      Do you think the ideas in these works are useful to understand modern life? Explain your answer.
