Aristotle: Politics, Ethics and Desirability

by Chris Gould

When I was at university in the 2000s, virtually every text on Aristotle was written in the 1970s. Surely, it's time for a fresher, more modern, 21st-century approach which not only makes Aristotle more fun to analyze, but more relevant to the political issues around us. Along the way, we may

Why did Aristotle believe that women shouldn't vote?
Why did Aristotle believe that slavery was justified?
Why did he say that some wars were justified?

This book provides a chance to put some of Aristotle's most controversial theories under the spotlight, as well as provide a fresh take on one of the most interesting and cited political philosophers the world has ever known.

Author of the first - and hopefully definitive - ebook guide to the 1966 Batman TV series.

I've loved writing since childhood - especially adventure stories. At 14, I joined my local paper for work experience and loved it, even getting invited back. At 20, I did work experience at a number of national and local newspapers, being employed as a weekend football reporter for the UK's Daily Telegraph while still at university. Having moved to Japan in 2008, I now write on Japanese, French and popular culture for a number of publications, and love releasing ebooks / as well as reviewing books on Goodreads!
