Synopsis
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.

Condition: Sehr gut. 343 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In very good condition. - Sehr gutes Exemplar. - 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 the written record of a series of lectures given by Aristotle at the Lyceum, but scholars have long debated what this means for our understanding of the work. Much recent scholarship has relied on its origin as an oral text to explain seeming inconsistencies and instances of discontinuity throughout. Breaking from this tradition, Pangle takes the work's origin as his starting point, reconceiving the Politics as the pedagogical tool of a master teacher. Pangle argues that, with the Politics, Aristotle seeks to lead his students down a highly demanding and deliberately perplexing path of critical thinking about civic republican life. He adopts a Socratic approach, encouraging his studentsand 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 designed to speak to students of unequal capacities. -- Through close analysis and careful interpretation of the text, Pangle ultimately furthers the argument set forth by Leo Strauss and others that to understand the Politics, one must first appreciate how Aristotle's rhetorical strategy is inextricably entwined with the subject of his work.
