    Book description

    In Aristotle and Law, George Duke argues that Aristotle's seemingly dispersed statements on law and legislation are unified by a commitment to law's status as an achievement of practical reason. This book provides a systematic exposition of the significance and coherence of Aristotle's account of law, and also indicates the relevance of this account to contemporary legal theory. It will be of great interest to scholars and students in jurisprudence, philosophy, political science and classics.

    Reviews

    ‘… a delightful and rewarding work. Indeed, I recommend this book not just to those interested in Aristotle’s theory of law, but to anyone looking for a lucid overview of many of the scholarly debates about Aristotelian ethics and politics.’

    Steven C. Skultety Source: The Review of Politics

    'Duke should be commended for challenging Aristotle scholars to think beyond the interpretive frameworks of the last three decades.'

    Thornton Lockwood Source: Metascience

    ‘… as George Duke rightly notes, little attention has been paid to Aristotle’s theory of law and legislation. In this outstanding book, George Duke fills this gap and argues - persuasively, in my view - that there are enough elements in Aristotle’s works to reconstruct a general, and properly Aristotelian, theory of law … The book is highly recommended for legal scholars interested in having a better grasp of Aristotle’s concept of law. Indeed, from now on, scholars writing about Aristotelian legal philosophy will certainly have to deal with Duke’s reconstruction of Aristotle.’
