Antiquity and civic humanism in the sixteenth century: A comparative study of Machiavelli and La Boétie - 2020.

Machiavelli and La Boétie have often been compared and broadly pitted against each other, based on the idea that the former is on the prince’s side, and the latter on the people’s side. This paper offers a comparison of their thoughts, focusing its approach on how each of them read the Ancients and their respective positions on the humanist culture of their time, in order to better understand their differences and their similarities.
