"Unfortunately the fourth generation translation is kind of shoddy, but for his time Ari's ideas are ideal. Of course, for the free world today, they'd be ludicrous."
"As the sequel to his Nicomachean Ethics, it continued the lengthy philosophical treatise built on wrong metaphysical foundations. But, if you buy into the teleological view of "man's happiness" as the ultimate end and that "virtuous activity is identical with happiness," then Aristotle does a fine job of erecting an entire political worldview on this basis. On the other hand, surely much of our own constitutional government finds its origin in Aristotle."
