Summary of Sunni concepts

Machiavellianism

00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:22.210
It was named after Machiavelli, the author of The Prince in the year one thousand five hundred and thirteen AD

00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:27.210
It is considered the first seed paving the way for secularism

00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:36.210
In his aforementioned book, Machiavelli explicitly called for the exclusion of religion from governance and politics

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:43.210
He identified three fundamental foundations derived from a purely non-religious perception

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:53.210
Firstly, man is evil by nature and his desire for good is artificial to achieve his own benefit only

00:00:53.210 --> 00:01:01.210
Therefore, in his view, there is no embarrassment regarding this inherent nature and no blame for being carried away by it

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:11.299
Secondly, completely separating politics, religion and morality and confirming that there is no connection between them

00:01:11.299 --> 00:01:15.299
He did not deny religion and morality in and of themselves

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:20.299
But he made it impossible for the ruling to adhere to their controls

00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:25.299
For him, religion and morals are limited to individuals

00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:29.370
Thirdly, the end justifies the means

00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:35.370
This is his practical rule that is an alternative to religion and morality

00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:39.370
Machiavellianism became known and became famous

00:01:39.370 --> 00:01:43.370
In fact, it is just one of its three foundations

00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:46.370
It's not all Machiavellianism

00:01:46.370 --> 00:01:50.980
