This reading of Aristotle's Politics builds on the insight that the
history of political philosophy is a series of configurations of
nature and reason. Aristotle's conceptualization of nature is
unique because it is not opposed to or subordinated to reason.
Adriel M. Trott uses Aristotle's definition of nature as an
internal source of movement to argue that he viewed community as
something that arises from the activity that forms it rather than
being a form imposed on individuals. Using these definitions, Trott
develops readings of Aristotle's four arguments for the naturalness
of the polis, interprets deliberation and the constitution in
Politics as the form and final causes of the polis, and reconsiders
Aristotle's treatment of slaves and women. Trott then argues that
Aristotle is relevant for contemporary efforts to improve and
encourage genuine democratic practices.
