The End of Thoughts on Machiavelli Is Not Just Exoteric

Stross: The end of thoughts on machiavelli is not just exoteric. In fact, i think it's somehow of crucial importance. He suggests that there's no option to just rest with humanity. It's either subhuman or, as it were, a superhuman,. Either beast or god. You know, no third is given here against Machiavelli's humanism. Now we have something of the experience of transcending man in the direction of the sub human. And i think that for strauss, the out, the way back, the way forward, is to transcend man in thedirection of the philosopher. Yes. I mean, i agree with all that that
