Political Authority and Obligation in Aristotle
Political Authority and Obligation in Aristotle
Summary
It is commonly held that Aristotle's views on politics have little relevance to the preoccupations of modern political theory with authority and obligation. This work considers the ethical underpinning of Aristotle's political thought, the normativity of his political theory, and the concepts of political authority and obligation themselves.
Political Authority and Obligation in Aristotle Summary
Political Authority and Obligation in Aristotle Reviews
This is an extremely detailed and learned work which scholars of Aristotle's Politics and those interested in the question of political authority will find enormously valuable. * Cathal Woods, Polis: The Journal of the Society for Greek Political Thought *
Rosler's arguments are lucid and his writing is eloquent, occasionally humorous, and always pleasant. I have no doubt that Rosler's school of thought will delight over the new addition to the literature * Ran Baratz, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
Rosler's thoroughly researched and well-argued study amply demonstrates, as it set out to do, that those scholars who think Aristotle was totally blind to them [sc. the questions of political authority and obligation] are wrong * David Keyt, Journal of Hellenic Studies *
This is an impressively learned and genuinely interdisciplinary book * C. C. W. Taylor, International Philosophical Quarterly *
a well-written and convincingly argued book * George Boys-Stones, Greece and Rome *
