Offering an ancient education for our times, Jill Frank's "A
Democracy of Distinction" interprets Aristotle's writings in a way
that reimagines the foundations, aims, and practices of politics,
ancient and modern. Concerned especially with the work of making a
democracy of distinction, Frank shows that such a democracy
requires freedom and equality achieved through the exercise of
virtue.
Moving back and forth between Aristotle's writings and contemporary
legal and political theory, Frank breathes new life into our
conceptions of property, justice, and law by viewing them not only
as institutions but as dynamic activities as well. Frank's
innovative approach to Aristotle stresses his appreciation of the
tensions and complexities of politics so that we might rethink and
reorganize our own political ideas and practices. "A Democracy of
Distinction" will be of enormous value to classicists, political
scientists, and anyone interested in revitalizing democratic theory
and practice.
