Nature, Justice, and Rights in Aristotle's Politics

by Fred D. Miller Jr.

This comprehensive study of Aristotle's Politics argues that nature, justice, and rights are central to Aristotle's political thought. Miller challenges the widely held view that the concept of rights is alien to Aristotle's thought, and presents evidence for talk of rights in Aristotle's
writings. He argues further that Aristotle's theory of justice supports claims of individual rights that are political and based in nature.
