Abstract:
Although Han Fei and Machiavelli lived in different times and countries, it did not affect the comparison of the ideology between the two of them. Firstly, the two demonstrated what the King should do to control the lieges from the view of Evil Human Nature, which was a basic premise of the comparison of the two’s political thoughts. Secondly, there were many similarities of the time when their political thoughts were generated, which was one of the significant factors of the comparability between the two. Thirdly, both of them explained the politics from the perspective of utilitarianism, and separated politics form morality.
