Produktbeschreibung
Aristotle on Sexual Difference is a book about Aristotle's understanding of the differences between male and females, and men and women. It considers what he says about biological differences between the sexes, and about psychological differences that he thinks justify different political roles for men and women. It discusses the authors who preceded Aristotle, highlighting that they treat sexual difference as a misfortune, and women as an evil inflicted on men. This book demonstrates that Aristotle rejects that view, and that he argues for the benefit of sexual difference to animal species, and the value of women to their political communities. It also traces a connection between Aristotle's accounts of the physiological defects of women and of their political limitations.
