Aristotle and Law Reviews

' a delightful and rewarding work. Indeed, I recommend this book not just to those interested in Aristotle's theory of law, but to anyone looking for a lucid overview of many of the scholarly debates about Aristotelian ethics and politics.' Steven C. Skultety, The Review of Politics
'Duke should be commended for challenging Aristotle scholars to think beyond the interpretive frameworks of the last three decades.' Thornton Lockwood, Metascience
' as George Duke rightly notes, little attention has been paid to Aristotle's theory of law and legislation. In this outstanding book, George Duke fills this gap and argues - persuasively, in my view - that there are enough elements in Aristotle's works to reconstruct a general, and properly Aristotelian, theory of law The book is highly recommended for legal scholars interested in having a better grasp of Aristotle's concept of law. Indeed, from now on, scholars writing about Aristotelian legal philosophy will certainly have to deal with Duke's reconstruction of Aristotle.' Joaquin Reyes, Criminal Law and Philosophy
