Aristotle and Modern Politics The Persistence of Political Philosophy

Tessitore, Aristide

Aristotle and Modern Politics The Persistence of Political Philosophy Aristide Tessitore - U.S.A. University of Notre Dame 2002 - 438tr. paperback, illustrations 24cm

These essays offer an Aristotle who comes across not as 'the Phiilosopher' nor as an archaic specimen, but as a dialogic companion. Thirteen truly distinguished authors, varied in their own theoretical approaches and political orientations, all find in their encounters with Aristotle the theoritical resource for addressing the challenges that confront citizens of the liberal democracies of the 21st century. Their encounters in turn challenge the reader to explore along with Aristotle the purposes and possiblities of political life.
