Aristote, l’animal politique
Les études, ici rassemblées, portent toutes sur l'assertion célèbre de la Politique d'Aristote (Politique I, 1-2), selon laquelle « l'être humain est un animal politique ». Elles prennent en compte les éventuels effets du « tournant biologique » sur la fameuse formule aristotélicienne, « l'être humain est un animal politique par nature », et en explorent les implications. L'analyse répétée des mêmes passages permet de remettre la formule de l'animal politique dans son contexte, ce qui est le premier effet attendu de cette publication. L'objectif est de défaire la proposition étudiée de son statut d'énoncé absolu ou, pire encore, de slogan, pour en montrer les inflexions et les conditions. Un consensus semble bien s'établir entre les différents auteurs sur l'impossibilité d'une lecture réductionniste de la thèse de l'animal politique humain.
L'homme, le plus politique des animaux
Cette étude est entièrement consacrée à un examen du deuxième chapitre du premier livre des "Politiques" d'Aristote. Elle vise à analyser l'affirmation aristotélicienne selon laquelle l'homme est un animal plus politique que les autres animaux politiques (Pol., I, 1, 1253a7-9). Tous les commentateurs d'Aristote expliquent cette affirmation par référence à la rationalité, ou à la moralité ou encore à la capacité langagière de l'homme. Selon l'idée soutenue dans cette étude, bien que ces traits exclusivement humains ne soient pas impertinents à la forme spécifique que prend la vie politique de l'homme, le plus haut degré de son caractère politique ne peut pas s'expliquer ...

Aristotele E Gli Eleati
Richard McKirahan systematically examines the Aristotelian discussion of the thought of Parmenides, Zeno and Melissus, shedding light on the more obscure and complex passages. He also complements his study by proposing a novel 'Aristotelianising' interpretation of Parmenides' poem. The texts are introduced by a wide-ranging essay by the book's editors, aimed at defining the fundamental lines of the volume and taking stock of the studies devoted to the relationship between Aristotle and Eleaticism. The second part of the volume collects the contributions of nine scholars, involved in a lively debate on the themes addressed by McKirahan. With contributions by Alberto Bernabe u Mathilde Bremond u Bernardo Berruecos Frank u Nestor-Luis Cordero u Patricia Curd u Leonardo Franchi u Refik Guremen u Richard McKirahan u Massimo Pulpito u Barbara Sattler u Enrico Volpex
The Politics of Philosophy
In the most original interpretation of Aristotle's Politics in years, Michael Davis delivers many memorable and provocative formulations of Aristotle's messages concerning the constitutive tensions of political life. He traces the uncanny parallel between politics and philosophy in Aristotle, arguing that their connection is much deeper than it is ordinarily understood to be and that, for Aristotle, understanding either requires understanding the other. Davis presents his interpretation with a striking clarity and accessibility that makes the book a pleasure to read.
The Undivided Self
Aristotle initiated the systematic investigation of perception, the emotions, memory, desire, and action. David Charles argues that Aristotle's account of these phenomena is a philosophically live alternative to conventional modern thinking about the mind: it offers a way to dissolve, rather than solve, the mind-body problem we have inherited.
