By: Plato. A major new collection from "arguably the most important intellectual alive" The New York Times. Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the preeminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sold-out lectures. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.

By: Noam Chomsky , and others. One of the undisputed giants in the history of human thought, and the founder of one of the world's longest-lasting cultural traditions, Confucius known as Kong Fuzi in his native China is arguably the most enduring of all the world's great thinkers. The Analects , the slender volume thought to have been compiled by his followers, has the strongest claim to represent Confucius' actual words.

The book contains memorable sayings about the moral health of the individual, the family and the body politic. By: Confucius. The Peloponnesian War pitted Athens and its allies against a league of city-states headed by Sparta. The ancient Greek historian Thucydides captured this drama with matchless insight in his classic eyewitness account of what was arguably the greatest war in the history of the world up to that time.

These 36 half-hour lectures draw on Thucydides' classic account as well as other ancient sources to give you a full picture of the Greek world in uneasy peace and then all-out war in the late 5th century B. By: Kenneth W. Harl , and others. John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny.

By: John Milton. From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power.

Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

When Machiavelli was removed from his post in his beloved Florence, he resolved to set down a treatise on leadership that was practical, not idealistic. The Prince he envisioned would be unencumbered by ordinary ethical and moral values.

Even today, this sixteenth-century classic has become essential listening for every student of government, and is the ultimate audiobook on power politics. Philosophy asks and analyzes the questions that have pressed on humankind for centuries: What does it mean to be human? Why are we here? How should we relate to each other? From ancient to contemporary times, these questions have been answered with varying, and sometimes contradictory, schools of thought.

Draw parallels across time to dive deep into questions about the fundamental nature of our reality on macro and micro levels alike. We have one political picture in our office. My wife and I are standing between Jim Edgar on the one side-the very icon of good and honorable government-and on the other side, Lee Atwater-a brilliant strategist whose goal was to win at any price.

Some viewed Atwater as the modern incarnation of Machiavelli. But what people mistakenly think is that Machiavelli was a proponent of ruthless politics. Read the book, perhaps repeating some sections, and you see Machiavelli as simply recounting his observations, stripped of all pretense of the goodness of man, and laying bare the distressing reality of government and power.

The problem with Machiavelli is that he is right. Any additional comments? Casual readers beware, you have to know what you are getting when you purchase The Prince. It is difficult to fault the narrator for some of the more boring parts of the book because Machiavelli is just boring sometimes.

However, he also has some of the boldest insights into political thought that were hundreds of years before his time and many of which are still applicable today. Brush up on your Italian, Greek, and Roman history and dig in.

Very important for the history an influence, this translation has a good introduction and a place where the history is explained. If you are very interested in the topic the Teaching Company course "Machiavelli in Context", also available here, is the best at truly putting Machiavelli in Context and shedding light on his times and thought I highly recommend it ; The Kreeft Modern Scholar Ethic's course, also available here, is probably the most out-of-context I have listened to This is a fine addition to either course.

If you read this some time ago, you may have forgotten that it was Italian Florentine power politics. In this work Machiavelli postulates how to manage his citizen population, conquer foreign peoples, ones political enemies, and control the European power sources.

Simply put political control by cunning, duplicity and if necessary bad faith. Thus, the book is a primer on how to wield power. Could be a good book for the new American administration to review.

If you are a political scientist, or just a political junkie, this is required reading. The terms parted by Machiavelli are put into the simplest verbiage to convey a most complex philosophical understanding of politics or diplomacy based primarily on considerations of given circumstances.

Easy to read listen to and easy to learn; just hard to bear as a humanistic being. Yet, again and again, Machiavellianism has more often prevailed than it has not.

What I find interesting in the story is that it was written for Lorenzo de Medici, but there is no evidence that Lorenzo ever read the work that was delivered to him as a gift by Machiavelli. Read it. You will enjoy its demonic character.
