Introduction -- Law as Rational Restraint -- The Legislator -- The Constitutional Relativity of Law -- The Common Advantage and Political Justice -- Stability and Obedience -- Natural Justice and Natural Law -- Equity and the Spoudaios -- Conclusion
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
