Aristotle and the Rediscovery of Citizenship confronts a question
that is central to Aristotle's political philosophy as well as to
contemporary political theory: what is a citizen? Answers prove to
be elusive, in part because late twentieth-century critiques of the
Enlightenment called into doubt fundamental tenets that once guided
us. Engaging the two major works of Aristotle's political
philosophy, his Nicomachean Ethics and his Politics, Susan D.
Collins poses questions that current discussions of liberal
citizenship do not adequately address. Drawing a path from
contemporary disputes to Aristotle, she examines in detail his
complex presentations of moral virtue, civic education, and law;
his view of the aims and limits of the political community; and his
treatment of the connection between citizenship and the human good.
Collins thereby shows how Aristotle continues to be an
indispensable source of enlightenment, as he has been for political
and religious traditions of the past.
