Two important criticisms of contemporary liberalism turn to
Aristotle's political thought for support - that which advocates
participatory democracy, and that sympathetic to the rule of a
virtuous or philosophic elite. In this commentary on Aristotle's
politics the author explores how Aristotle offers political rule as
an alternative to both the rule of aristocratic virtue and an
unchecked participatory democracy. Writing in lucid prose, she
offers an interpretation grounded in a close reading of the text,
and combining a respectful and patient attempt to understand
Aristotle in his own terms with a wide, sympathetic, and
argumentative reading in the secondary literature.
