  • Helga's Natural Instinct

He...

    In Defense of Instinct - Hobbesian egoism 1. What is Hobbesian egoism First, let me explain what I mean by Hobbesian egoism.

    The Qualities of the Prince is Machiavelli's "how to" manual for a great leader. He maps out each quality so that it may be easily be implemented by the aspiring emperor, king, or dictator.
