We ought to suspect from all this that the two books are mutually illuminating and that without further attention to the Politics our philosophically informed understanding of Aristotle's practical thinking may be significantly incomplete. The NE addresses the student of politics and the politician throughout, and virtue and happiness loom large in the Politics. This is surprising, considering that Aristotle opens the Nicomachean Ethics by defining knowledge of the human good as politikê (political knowledge) and given that he closes the work by exhorting us to bring virtue and happiness to life in cities, after studying politics and constitutions. While Aristotle's ethical treatises have inspired massive profusions of fine philosophical work, philosophers have shown comparatively little interest in the Politics. As such it is rare and invaluable even among the classics of political philosophy. Aristotle's Politics holds up the highest ideals of human flourishing and excellence, while fearlessly diving into the nitty-gritty of everyday political circumstances, where neither flourishing nor excellence may seem possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even better, when she propositions him, she has no idea who he really is.īut when paparazzi catch the pair, erm, kissing in an alleyway, Ruben's anonymity disappears faster than Cherry's knickers.
