Aristotle's moral and political thought formed the backbone of education in practical philosophy for centuries during the classical and medieval periods. It has often been presumed, however, that with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, this tradition was broken. Countering this widespread view, Manfred Svensson discusses dozens of commentaries on Aristotle's Ethics and Politics that emerged from Protestant universities and academies throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, showing that early modern Protestants never lost their connection to Aristotle. He offers a broad contextualization of these works and in-depth discussion of their key ethical and political concepts.
Manfred Svensson is Professor of Philosophy at the Universidad de los Andes, Chile. His research focuses on various aspects of Augustine and the Augustinian tradition, the history of the concept of toleration, and the Protestant reception of Aristotle's practical philosophy
