## Resource

As we conclude our series reading Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," we will look at the author's beliefs about fate. Is fate something set in the stars, something controlled entirely by men, or a real force that ultimately favors the bold? We will also look at how Machiavelli's desire to unify Italy impacted his political beliefs.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.
