Channel Intro, Philosophy with Alexander Koryagin

My Intro to Political Philosophy on COURSERA: https://www.coursera.org/learn/intro-to-political-philosophy

My name is Alexander Koryagin, students call me Alex. I'm a university professor teaching Political Theory and Philosophy of Science.

Machiavelli quote: "When evening comes, I return to my house and go to my study. At the door, I take off my clothes of the day covered with muck and dirt and I put on my regal and courtly garments. And decently reclothed, I enter the ancient courts of ancient men, where received by them lovingly, I feed on the food that alone is mine and that I was born for. There I am not ashamed to speak with them and to ask them the reasons for their actions and they, in their humanity, reply to me. And for the space of four hours every night, I feel no boredom. I forget every pain. I do not fear poverty and death does not frighten me. I deliver myself entirely unto them."
