As the rethinker bar none, Machiavelli inaugurated modernity and its new truth: what Machiavelli in chapter fifteen of The Prince calls "the effective truth" - a real, tangible, felt truth opposed to the imagined, utopian truths of Greeks and Christians. A broader philosophical tradition informs the present study, comprising the major classical texts on friendship by Aristotle, Cicero, Seneca, Plutarch and Lucian, as well as Augustine and, prominently, the late medieval commentators and rethinkers of Aristotelian ethics: Aquinas, Ockham, Peter Lombard, Johannes Altensteig, John Major and others. The old pervasive liberal fear of discussing issues like crime and bureaucracy has almost completely disappeared--partly under the press of political expediency, since it became clear that liberals would almost always lose unless they gave up the luxury of refusing to confront tough questions, and partly thanks to the good work done by liberal rethinkers. |
