"I invite you to join me in Florence, Italy this June 2022, for a month-long class: Machiavelli: Politician, Playwright, Philosopher (HIST 2020/POLT 2500/PHIL 2080). This is a three-credit course with no prerequisites; you can either use it as an elective or apply it towards a degree in philosophy, political science, or history.
This is part of the partnership between Webster University and the Kent State Summer Institute. If you are NOT a Webster student, or any kind of student, you are still eligible to apply for the course as a guest student.
The class meets 16 times across the four weeks. Six of those meetings are visits to locations where Machiavelli lived or worked 500 years ago. The class will read his most famous and controversial book, The Prince; his most reflective book, The Discourses; and his runaway hit madcap play, The Mandrake Root (of which volunteers from the class will do a staged reading for the other Summer Institute students)." -David Carl Wilson, PhD
