Political Economy Propounded Society

Question: Describe about the Political Economy for Propounded Society. Answer: 1: The truth is the effectual truth as opposed to the imaginary truth usually propounded by the society. According to Machiavelli, effectual truth is factual by nature, without being influenced by the primacy of what is being considered to be good and just. Truth means the effectual truth, and it is truth by its own power, that is an impressive truth that may not be traditionally accepted, but is more powerful than the subtle truth. This is opposed to the idea of imaginary principals and values that no one has ever known . The imaginary truth and the effectual truth are the two main alternatives to truth. 2: Aristotle believes in wining more realistically, and hence his view on morality is highly distinguishable than the ethical view of Aristotle. Necessity replaces imagination for Machiavelli. Hence, although just like Aristotle, Machiavelli also believes in the stratification of the society, and the importance of having a leader, he does not emphasize on the importance of a leader possessing high moral values and principles in life . Aristotle believes that a leader will be able to lead and guide people, only if he is morally sensitive and virtuous enough. However, to Machiavelli, the prince may not necessarily have the highest principles, but he should appear to be a man of high virtues and principles before his followers . 3: The profession of good as defined by Machiavelli refers to the theological virtues and moral virtues that guide and determine the action of an individual. According to Machiavelli, a man willing to make a profession of good in all regards, will eventually ruin his happiness and prospect simply because not everyone around him is not necessarily virtuous. Machiavelli claimed that Platos hierarchical order of religions, has led to the world of corrupt modernity, which breeds nothing more than idleness and frustration, owing to the Christian prospect of a Heavenly world . 4: According to Machiavelli, the standard of peoples behavior can be based on the value one agrees to put on ones own self interests and motives, instead of placing the same on the well-being of others in the society. One must be able to anticipate that he may need to be evil in future, if the necessary demands the same from him. 5: Realism is not based on the imaginary truth of life, and hence it is important according to Machiavelli, it is important to understand what helps an individual succeed realistically. In the play Man D, the couple does not resort to a moral action, as they indulge in adultery, a sinful act, yet they achieve happiness. Hence, Machiavelli asserts that if one perpetrates a good act, refuses to be sinful, one may end up living childless. While on the other hand, if an individual chooses the evil path, out of necessity, and employs it for ones good, one can achieve happiness and personal satisfaction.
