Machiavellian Theories Still Used, Professor Says
Machiavelli as a political scientist was discussed by Cortez A. M. Ewing, professor of citizenship and government at the University of Oklahoma, who spoke to the political science department May 5.
Professor Cortez pointed out that Machiavell's ideas and theories are carried out today even more than in his own time. In the recent war, German and Japanese diplomatic principles were directly based upon the theory of progressive movement.
Machieveli used the people as a means to all ends in war and peace. He believed that man is always motivated by self interest and that any populace could be convinced that rewards were to be had for the taking.
In using the conquered nations as a treasury to wage further war, he illustrated how Hitler followed Machiavelli by using the entire population to fill his armies and coffers. In explaining how Machiavelli came to power, Professor Cortez pointed out that Hitler was more interested in personal gains than in the betterment of the people of Germany.
