The Good Life and the Good State (eBook, ePUB)

A Neo-Aristotelian Theory of Government

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There is no good human life outside of a state, and the good state enables us to live well together - so says Constitutivism, the theory developed in this book. Reinvigorating Aristotelian ideas, the author asks in what sense citizens of modern, populous and pluralistic societies share a common good.
