Descrizione del libro

Divisions abound about whether politics should be held to a higher moral standard or whether pragmatic considerations should prevail. The two poles are represented most conspicuously by Aristotle and Machiavelli. The fourteen contributors to this volume are predominantly arrayed on the Aristotelian end of the continuum.
