Opis

This book offers a systematic overview of Aristotle's conception of well-being, virtue and justice in the Nicomachean Ethics, and then explores the major themes of Politics: civic-mindedness, slavery, family, property, the common good, class conflict, the limited wisdom of the multitude, and the radically egalitarian institutions of the ideal society.

Recenzje

This is an excellent introductory work ... The account is clear and stimulating, and presented in a simple and lively style. Specialists in Aristotle will probably not agree with the author on all points of detail, but in the work taken as a whole they will recognize the mark of penetrating exegesis.
