Preface
Thisbookistheresultofaninterdisciplinarycollaborationovermanyyears(from
2007onward)betweenancientphilosophers,legaltheorists,politicalscientists,and
historians. These scholars share an extensive reading-knowledge of Aristotle’s
work, some from a purely philosophical background, and good knowledge of the
ancientGreeklanguage,othersfromtheperspectiveoflegalandpoliticaltheory.
Collaboration on this book was initiated during two workshops, one combined
withaSymposiumonLawandEmotioninAmsterdam(2014)andoneduringthe
IVR conference in Washington (2015). All contributions were extensively
reviewed by two reviewers in 2016, as far as possible externally (double-blind),
some internally (half-blind), and in a few cases in an open review. One of the
reviewersisprimarilyanexpertinancientphilosophy,whiletheotherisanexpert
