Description:

This text argues that Aristotle's "Politics" has languished in the shadow cast by Plato's "Republic" and seeks to reinvigorate the scholarship on what it considers a masterpiece of modern and educational theory. It contends that "Politics" holds an important place in Aristotle's philosophy.

Synopsis:

Aristotle regarded law and education as the two fundamental and deeply interdependent tools of political art, making the use of education by the statesman a topic of the first importance in his practical philosophy. The present work develops the first comprehensive treatment of this neglected topic, and assesses the importance of Aristotle's defense of public education for current debates about school choice and privatization, and educational equality.
