Western Political Philosophy and the Dialogues of Aristotle: An Analysis of Influence
This six-page undergraduate paper examines the political philosophies of Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, Aquinas, and Rousseau as expressed in their writings.
The author explains these philosopherÂ’s views on political motivations, the limits of political philosophy, the duties of citizens in the earthly city, and other related issues. He concludes that one can make the argument that the entire canon of Western Philosophy can be described as a series of scholarly footnotes to AristotleÂ’s dialogues.
