Description: Socrates Meets Machiavelli The Father of Philosophy Crossexamines the Author of the Prince by Peter Kreeft What if we could overhear a conversation in the afterlife between Socrates and Machiavelli, in which Machiavelli has to submit to an Oxford tutorial style examination of his book conducted by Socrates using his famous method of cross-examination?
