Aristotle: Your Guide to Citizen Virtue

Cary J. Nederman

0/5 ( ratings)

How can Aristotle help you become a more thoughtful and ethical person? The word “politics” is an often controversial term in our day, conjuring associations with partisanship and subterfuge. But as conceived by the ancient Greeks, politics was essential for becoming a more virtuous person. Among the great minds of antiquity, perhaps none remains as relevant as Aristotle. For this exemplary philosopher, the ultimate purpose of politics was the common good. Your Guide to Citizen Virtue gives you the rare opportunity to learn from one of the leading experts on Aristotle and political theory. With Prof. Cary J. Nederman, you’ll explore Aristotle’s historical, intellectual, and biographical backdrop. You’ll also draw connections between this context and the moral and political philosophies of Aristotle. Finally, you will consider the inspiring Aristotelian conception of human goodness. In particular, you’ll look at his powerful principle of all human beings have a purpose. By understanding Aristotle’s influences and ideas, you’ll come to understand him as a thinker influenced by his time and place. But you’ll also see how he provided the basis for moral philosophy, political thought, and university curricula in the West and beyond. Today, Aristotle remains vital, inspiring great thinkers and providing insights into contemporary issues. And most importantly, Aristotle speaks powerfully about what it means to be a good person. By studying his thought, you will find guidance for flourishing and realizing your potential.
