The Aristotelian Tradition in Early Modern Protestantism

Angebote / Angebote:

Aristotle's moral and political thought formed the backbone of education in practical philosophy for centuries during the classical and medieval periods. It has often been presumed, however, that with the advent of the Protestant Reformation, this tradition was broken.

He offers a broad contextualization of these works and in-depth discussion of their key ethical and political concepts.
