\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la Filosof\u00eda Pol\u00edtica? \/ III. Las soluciones Modernas<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Por Le\u014dnardus Str\u016bthi\u014d<\/span><\/p>\n\n Machiavelli cannot leave it at this. Devotion to the fatherland is itself dependent on education. This means that patriotism is not natural. Just as man is not by nature directed toward virtue, he is not by nature directed toward society. By nature man is radically selfish. Yet while men are by nature selfish, and nothing but selfish, hence bad, they can become social, public spirited, or good. This transformation requires compulsion. The success of this compulsion is due to the fact that man is amazingly malleable: much more so than had hitherto been thought. For if man is not by nature ordered toward virtue or perfection, if there is no natural end of man, man can set for himself almost any end he desires: man is almost infinitely malleable. The power of man is much greater, and the power of nature and chance is correspondingly much smaller, than the ancients thought.<\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Maquiavelo <\/span>puede detenerse<\/span> aqu\u00ed. La devoci\u00f3n a la patria <\/span>depende de la educaci\u00f3n. Esto significa que el patriotismo no es algo natural. Del mismo modo que el hombre <\/span>por naturaleza<\/span> no tiende naturalmente hacia la virtud, tampoco tiende naturalmente hacia la sociedad. El hombre es por naturaleza radicalmente ego\u00edsta. No obstante, aunque el hombre sea por naturaleza ego\u00edsta<\/span> \u2014<\/span>y nada m\u00e1s que ego\u00edsta<\/span>\u2014, y por tanto malo, puede convertirse en un ser social, <\/span>en alguien animado por lo p\u00fablico, o en alguien bueno<\/span>. <\/span>Esta transformaci\u00f3n requiere la coacci\u00f3n.<\/span> El \u00e9xito de esa coacci\u00f3n reside en el hecho de que el hombre es asombrosamente maleable; mucho m\u00e1s de lo <\/span>hasta ahora <\/span>hemos cre\u00eddo<\/span>. <\/span>Porque, si <\/span>el hombre no se ve impulsado por naturaleza hacia la virtud o hacia la perfecci\u00f3n, si no existe ning\u00fan fin natural para \u00e9l, <\/span>entonces<\/span>, puede <\/span>seleccionar<\/span> pr\u00e1cticamente cualquier meta que desee: <\/span>e<\/span>l hombre es maleable <\/span>casi de manera<\/span> infinit<\/span>a<\/span>.
