This thinker imagined David refusing Saul’s armor and going to fight Goliath with a knife in a parable advising against “auxiliaries.” The “problem of dirty hands” is traced back to a passage in which this thinker describes the task of learning “not to be good.” This author of a commentary on (*) Ab urbe condita called for his country to unify in the final chapter of a treatise that compares fortune to a raging river. Unlike his Discourses on Livy, this thinker’s magnum opus advises studying the lion and the fox and notes that it’s “safer to be feared than loved.” For 10 points, name this Italian author of The Prince. ■END■
