Transcript

00:04

And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by Thomas

00:06

More a noteworthy Renaissance humanist with a good head on his shoulders until [scissors cuts Thomas Mores' head]

00:12

he was beheaded for treason yeah.. well check out this passage [mumbling]

00:16

[mumbling]

00:22

[mumbling continues]

00:25

alright you sing it Machiavelli, okay well here's a question from what we know

00:30

about Machiavelli's The Prince it was similar to Thomas More's philosophy

00:34

because it what and your potential answers...

00:39

well fun fact about Machiavelli's The Prince it's one of the [Machiavelli portrait beside Machiavelli]

00:44

most famous examples of a sort of writing from the period called mirrors

00:47

for princes which functioned is a sort of textbook that instructed kings and

00:51

rulers on how to rule and behave that basically means they were one of the [king wearing a crown sitting on a throne]

00:55

earliest forms of a you know self-help book apparently the original title

00:59

making your subjects fear you for dummies never made it to print. More and [making your subjects fear you for dummies book]

01:04

Machiavelli different in many ways one was from England the other from Italy [The Big Ben and the leaning tower of Pisa]

01:09

one was a Christian humanist the other a civic humanist but they did share one

01:14

aspect of their philosophy but what was it well to start it most certainly

01:18

wasn't A, as that idea belonged exclusively to Machiavelli. More

01:23

believed in the power of the collective society so unless collective is somehow [Lots of people gathered together]

01:27

a mistranslation of wets themselves at the mere sight of you and we're not

01:31

buying this one he doesn't work either neither of them supported Reformation. Though [Man walks away from a castle]

01:35

More was a bit more passionate about it remember the whole losing his head

01:40

thing we mentioned yeah that was a direct result of his opposition to the [More's head floating around a castle]

01:44

Protestant Reformation going on at the time maybe More had bought a few too

01:48

many indulgences and was just trying to protect his investment well either way

01:52

this one isn't it either and seeing as most of Machiavelli's work focused on [Machiavelli and More heads on a Michael Angelo painting]

01:56

Roman history while More's focused most predictably on the Bible we can safely

02:00

rule out C as well to really get an idea of what More was like try to

02:04

picture that one musician friend of yours you know the one that only talks [Man talking about music to a girl]

02:09

about music every time you hang out

02:11

like it's great that you just discovered that some obscure band only writes songs

02:15

in the pentatonic scale, but like can we just order dinner now anyway he was like [girl wanting to order dinner and man holding a guitar discussing music]

02:21

that but with the church however they both did highlight societal problems and

02:25

the need for a reform which is why D is the correct answer here granted they

02:29

both proposed two completely different solutions More with a call for the end

02:33

of private property and Machiavelli with a call for a skilled absolute ruler but

02:38

the general idea was the same but is that even really all that similar sure [Two girls deciding to eat pizza for dinner]

02:42

you and your buddy can both agree that it's past 7:00 and time to eat dinner

02:45

but if one of you wants pizza and the other wants sushi you might as well be on [two girls arguing over sushi or pizza for dinner]

02:49

two different planet and don't even think of suggesting pizza with anchovies
