Details

In Aristotle and Law

  • , George Duke argues that Aristotle's seemingly dispersed statements on law and legislation are unified by a commitment to law's status as an achievement of practical reason. This book provides a systematic exposition of the significance and coherence of Aristotle's account of law, and also indicates the relevance of this account to contemporary legal theory. It will be of great interest to scholars and students in jurisprudence, philosophy, political science and classics.
  • Provides a dedicated exposition and critical analysis of Aristotle on the topic of law
  • Brings Aristotle's legal theory into dialogue with contemporary legal theory to stimulate further consideration of its current relevance
  • Demonstrates the coherence of Aristotle's various statements on law
