Title: On Aristotle. Saving Politics from Philosophy
Description: Liveright Classics. Paperback. Pp: 224. In "On Aristotle", Alan Ryan examines Plato`s most famous student and sharpest critic. Aristotle was the first thinker to posit that a society should be ruled by laws and not men. His strongly empirical cast of mind was brought to bear on a stunning range of subjects and the resulting system dominated European thought from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries. Aristotle`s meticulous thinking on the nature of human affairs, ethics, politics, citizenship and virtue in a civil society remains as vital today as it was in his own time. Including key sections from Nicomachean Ethics and Politics, Aristotle`s only surviving works, with a new introduction by Alan Ryan and a chronology of the philosopher`s life and works, On Aristotle contextualises Aristotle`s views of government and the political community within the Ancient World. ISBN: 9781631490576. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
