Philosophy and Politics in Aristotle''s Politics

Informationen zum Autor Curtis Johnson is Robert B. Pamplin Jr. Professor of Government at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, USA. He is the author of Aristotle's Theory of the State (1990), Socrates and the Immoralists (2005), and Darwin's Dice (2014). He has published many articles and chapters on Plato, Aristotle, Darwin, and the history of science. Klappentext Johnson argues that Aristotle's Politics needs to be understood as a 'two-layered' treatise - the first being Aristotle's political theory, and the second as a set of questions for statesmen and politicians. Employing this model, the book sets about to provide a reconceptualization of Politics as a multi-layered, canonical work.
