With "Aristotle's Teaching in the "Politics," "Thomas L. Pangle
offers a masterly new interpretation of this classic philosophical
work. It is widely believed that the "Politics" originated as a
written record of a series of lectures given by Aristotle, and
scholars have relied on that fact to explain seeming
inconsistencies and instances of discontinuity throughout the text.
Breaking from this tradition, Pangle makes the work's origin his
starting point, reconceiving the "Politics" as the pedagogical tool
of a master teacher.
With the "Politics," Pangle argues, Aristotle seeks to lead his
students down a deliberately difficult path of critical thinking
about civic republican life. He adopts a Socratic approach,
encouraging his students--and readers--to become active
participants in a dialogue. Seen from this perspective, features of
the work that have perplexed previous commentators become perfectly
comprehensible as artful devices of a didactic approach.
Ultimately, Pangle's close and careful analysis shows that to
understand the "Politics," one must first appreciate how
Aristotle's rhetorical strategy is inextricably entwined with the
subject of his work.
