Send us a textNiccolo Machiavelli is often held up as the paradigmatic political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance. But as James Hankins argued in an earlier book, Virtue Politics, Machiavelli in fact repudiates the framework common to many of the humanists of the Renaissance. Machiavelli is an outlier. Who then can replace him as the Renaissance's paradigmatic political philosopher? In his new book, Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy, Hankins proposes the little-known Francesco Patrizi, friend and protege of Pope Pius II, as Machiavelli's replacement. Hankins joins the show to make his case for Patrizi as emblematic of Renaissance political philosophy and to explain some aspects of Patrizi's life and thought.James Hankins's Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674274709James Hankins's Virtue Politics: https://amzn.to/4d0f0buAdrian Wooldridge's Aristocracy of Talent: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781510775558The Patrizi Project: https://patrizisiena.hsites.harvard.edu/Nate Fischer's Meritocracy Must Not Be Our Goal: https://americanmind.org/salvo/meritocracy-must-not-be-our-goal/James Hankins and Allen Guelzo's The Golden Thread: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Thread-Ancient-World-Christendom/dp/1641773995New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Did Abraham Lincoln preserve democracy during the Civil War, or did he endanger it in the process? To explore this paradox, we’re joined by renowned historian and Lincoln scholar Allen Guelzo, author of Our Ancient Faith. Guelzo takes us deep into the high-stakes decisions of Lincoln’s presidency, from the suspension of habeas corpus to the Emancipation Proclamation. He argues that Lincoln’s vision of democracy was rooted in a moral imperative to save the Union as a global symbol of self-governance. But was his willingness to push the boundaries of executive power a necessary evil—or a dangerous precedent? We discuss how Lincoln reconciled his wartime decisions with the principles of the Founding Fathers, why the 1864 election might be democracy's greatest test, and how his book, Our Ancient Faith, sheds light on Lincoln’s belief in the Union as a sacred trust. Whether you see Lincoln as the Great Emancipator or the reluctant authoritarian, this episode will leave you rethinking what it means to lead a democracy in its darkest hour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interview with Allen Guelzo What would Lincoln do? Leaders and historians often ask this question when America is in a time of crisis.

Americans are hearing about democracy often today – whether it is resilient and its future in particular. Abraham Lincoln is considered America's greatest president for holding the union together when the nation was at its greatest peril during the Civil War. Renowned historian and author Allen Guelzo's new book Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy and the American Experiment examines Lincoln's vision of democracy and how he guided the nation during democracy's most dire crisis. Lincoln was perhaps democracy's greatest champion. Think about his words in the Gettysburg Address -- “of the people, by the people and for the people.” Guelzo's book takes a unique angle – examining how Lincoln applied democracy in areas like the economy, culture, race and civil liberties. Allen Guelzo recently appeared at Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg and spoke with The Spark's Scott LaMar.

How to balance state and national power was perhaps the single most important and challenging question confronting the early republic. The way the framers took up that question, and the approach they landed on for addressing it, can help us appreciate just how unlikely the emergence of the United States as we now know it really was. Guest Allen Guelzo joins us to discuss the framers' approach to federalism and how it can still help us maximize liberty and use power responsibly today. Allen Guelzo is the senior research scholar in the Council of the Humanities at Princeton University, as well as director of the Initiative on Politics and Statesmanship at the university's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.
