• A Democracy of Distinction: Aristotle and the Work of Politics

While A Democracy of Distinction offers a substantial contribution to scholarship on Aristotle's political thought, Frank's final chapter, "The Polity of Friendship," leaves the reader wanting more. Arrival at this final chapter, however, leaves one hoping for reflection on the bigger picture of how this contribution to Aristotle scholarship fits into contemporary political philosophy as a whole.

• Aristotle's Defense of the Theoretical Life: Comments On Politics 7

All of these must belong to those who are to be among the blessedly happy (makariois).5 For no one would say that the blessed man has no share of courage or moderation or of justice or practical wisdom, but is afraid of flies buzzing around, can resist nothing when he desires food or drink, destroys his dearest friends for a pittance, and is as foolish and prone to error when it comes to intellectual matters as a child or a madman. Some have made this sort of judgment, while others say that the despotic and tyrannical form of government is the only happy one.15 Miller argues that because Aristotle here distinguishes the political from the tyrannical, which involves the performance of unjust acts of excessive possession towards one's neighbors, he leaves open the possibility that the po...

• Aristotle's Practical Side: On His Psychology, Ethics, Politics and Rhetoric

In regard to moral action, "animals are not only without moral virtue but also without emotions in the sense of responses involving some sort of judgment or assessment," for they can neither opine nor respond emotionally, strictly speaking, since emotion implies cognition involving thinking (pp. 164-5).

• Believe in Our Cities' Possibilities

The historian and author Kevin Starr, despite lyrical descriptions of his beloved California, says it is on the verge of becoming a failed state. Where does that leave cities? Failure is not an option, at least permanently, for either the state or its cities. But nobody would dispute Starr's characterization of their appallilng condition. He attributes it to politicians' infighting rather than practicing Aristotle's decree that politics is the art of the possible.

• Old Ideas Hold Modern Worth

We now have a new mayor. He has an excellent pedigree, compelling credentials and wide community support. With a new year before us, it should bode well for Augusta. For vacation reading, I reread Aristotle's Politics. Aristotle is very dated on women and slavery (340 years before the Common Era; of course we didn't wise up until 1,900 years or more into the Common Era!). Aristotle makes sense on the partnership of a city. He extols "reciprocal equality." He proposes a system of governance in which each citizen is part of a group that discusses the advantages and disadvantages, the good and the bad, the just and the unjust - and then passes laws based upon an open deliberative process.
