Politics and Morality (राजनीति और नैतिकता) - Machiavelli | Dr. Rajesh Mishra #PSIR #WesternThinkers

📜 Politics and Morality - Machiavelli | Dr. Rajesh Mishra In this lecture, Dr. Rajesh Mishra explores the fundamental shift in political thought from the Greek Age to Machiavelli. While Greek philosophy emphasized absolute and universal morality, Machiavelli introduced a pragmatic and power-centric approach. 🔹 Greek Morality vs. Machiavelli’s Realism Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle believed in eternal moral values—truth, non-violence, kindness, and justice—principles later embraced by Gandhi. Plato’s Noble Lie also reflected this moral absolutism. 🔹 Where Does Machiavelli Stand? Unlike the Greek idealists, Machiavelli viewed politics independently of moral constraints. He acknowledged that power often requires violence, deception, and strategic manipulation—raising the question: Was Machiavelli immoral, or moral? 🔹 Modern Thinkers on Machiavelli 📖 Michael Oakeshott: Called him immoral and the "Teacher of Evil." 📖 Sabine, Berlin, Foster: Argued he was morally neutral, neither immoral nor moral. 📖 Isaiah Berlin: Suggested two different moral standards—one for the Prince, another for ordinary citizens. 🔹 Universal Egoism & Harari’s Perspective Dr. Mishra also discusses Sabine’s "Universal Egoism" and references Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens, connecting Machiavelli’s ideas with broader historical trends. 💡 Ultimately, should politics be guided by morality, or is power the true determinant of success? Is Machiavelli’s realism still relevant today?
