{"product_id":"aristotles-politics-eugene-garver-9780226284026","title":"Aristotle's Politics: Living Well and Living Together","description":"\"Man is a political animal,\" Aristotle asserts near the beginning of the \u003ci\u003ePolitics\u003c\/i\u003e. In this novel reading of one of the foundational texts of political philosophy, Eugene Garver traces the surprising implications of Aristotle's claim and explores the treatise's relevance to ongoing political concerns. Often dismissed as overly grounded in Aristotle's specific moment in time, in fact the \u003ci\u003ePolitics\u003c\/i\u003e challenges contemporary understandings of human action and allows us to better see ourselves today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClose examination of Aristotle's treatise, Garver finds, reveals a significant, practical role for philosophy to play in politics. Philosophers present arguments about issues--such as the right and the good, justice and modes of governance, the relation between the good person and the good citizen, and the character of a good life--that politicians must then make appealing to their fellow citizens. Completing Garver's trilogy on Aristotle's unique vision, \u003ci\u003eAristotle's Politics\u003c\/i\u003e yields new ways of thinking about ethics and politics, ancient and modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eugene Garver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226284026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226284026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012","brand":"Eugene Garver","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086400467199,"sku":"9780226284026","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31cd139c-3631-43bd-82d3-8abab7ad9963.jpg?v=1769094464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aristotles-politics-eugene-garver-9780226284026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
