You will nor get it by preaching, by hortatory speeches. You will get it only by making injustice utterly unprofitable. What <\/span>y<\/span>ou need is not so much formation of character and moral appeal, as the right kind of institutions, institutions with teeth in them. The shift from formation of character to the trust in insti<\/span>t<\/span>utions is the characteristic corollary of the belief in the almost infinite ma<\/span>lle<\/span>abilit<\/span>y<\/span> of man.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Next paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Previous paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n En el marco de una conferencia, no <\/span>nos <\/span>es posible <\/span>mostrar<\/span> c\u00f3mo Maquiavelo <\/span>tiene \u00e9xito en <\/span>construir sobre esta base una doctrina pol\u00edtica <\/span>que se adapta completamente a todos los requisitos posible de cualquier pol\u00edtica de <\/span>sangre y hierro<\/span><\/a> y, al mismo tiempo, <\/span>se muestre como la m\u00e1s favorable a <\/span>la libertad pol\u00edtica y <\/span>al imperio de la <\/span>ley. Debo limitarme a indicar <\/span>cu\u00e1n <\/span>f\u00e1cil es, despu\u00e9s de unos cuantos siglos de maquiavelizaci\u00f3n del pensamiento occidental, dar a la doctrina de Maquiavelo un aire de perfecta respetabilidad. <\/span>Podemos presentar al florentino argumentando de la manera siguiente:<\/span> \u00bfQuer\u00e9is justicia?

El paso de la formaci\u00f3n del car\u00e1cter a la confianza en las instituciones es el corolario <\/span>que <\/span>caracter<\/span>iza a <\/span>la creencia en la maleabilidad casi infinita del hombre.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Siguiente p\u00e1rrafo<\/a><\/p>\n P\u00e1rrafo anterior<\/a><\/p>\n Ir al inicio de esta entrada<\/a><\/p>\nLe<\/span>\u014d<\/span>nard<\/span>\u012b<\/span> Str\u016bt<\/span>h<\/span>i<\/span>\u012b<\/span> verba<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
