| Summary |
& Ldquo;Man is a political animal, & rdquo; Aristotle asserts near the beginning of the Politics. In this novel reading of one of the foundational texts of political philosophy, Eugene Garver traces the surprising implications of Aristotle & rsquo;s claim and explores the treatise & rsquo;s relevance to ongoing political concerns. Often dismissed as overly grounded in Aristotle & rsquo;s specific moment in time, in fact the Politics challenges contemporary understandings of human action and allows us to better see ourselves today. Close examination of Aristotle & rsquo;s treatise, Garver finds. |
