The Politics of Philosophy
Michael Davis | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. | 176 | Philosophy
In the most original interpretation of Aristotle's "Politics" in years, Michael Davis delivers many memorable and provocative formulations of Aristotle's messages concerning the constitutive tensions of political life. He traces the uncanny parallel between politics and philosophy in Aristotle, arguing that their connection is much deeper than it is ordinarily understood to be and that, for Aristotle, understanding either requires understanding the other. Davis presents his interpretation with a striking clarity and accessibility that makes the book a pleasure to read.
Reviews
My impression cannot possibly amount to much, as this is the only secondary source which constitutes a bonafide book that I have actually read on Aristotle's Politics, but still--Davis' analysis is simply spectacular. To keep it simple, though, let me just say that the formal structure Davis brings to light is alone worth the price of admission.
