The book presents a new focus on the legal philosophical texts of
Aristotle, which offers a much richerframe for the understanding of
practical thought, legal reasoning and political experience. It
allows understanding how human beings interact in a complex world,
and how extensive the complexity is which results from humans' own
power of self-construction and autonomy. The Aristotelian approach
recognizes the limits of rationality and the inevitable and
constitutive contingency in Law. All this offers a helpful
instrument to understand the changes globalisation imposes to legal
experience today. The contributions in this collection do not
merely pay attention to private virtues, but focus primarily on
public virtues. They deal with the fact that law is dependent on
political power and that a person can never be sure about the facts
of a case or about the right way to act. They explore the
assumption that a detailed knowledge of Aristotle's epistemology is
necessary, because of the direct connection between Enlightened
reasoning and legal positivism. They pay attention to the concept
of proportionality, which can be seen as a precondition to discuss
liberalism.
