Questioning the Founders—and Ourselves
Aristotle's Appraisal of Manly Spirit
Painfully aware of the dangers that spiritedness poses for a pacific politics, we have, since the inception of modern political thought, sought to subordinate the ancient, masculine virtues to the virtue that Adam Smith would label humanity. But our remarkably successful solution encounters today a new problem: in our emphasis on political peace, we now face the danger posed by the politi

"Aristotle's Qualified Defense of Democracy through "Political Mixing
What is Aristotle's final judgment on democracy? While some commentators take as dispositive his spirited criticisms of democracy, others emphasize the fact that Aristotle breaks company with the antidemocratic thrust of the Republic in arguing for the superior political judgment of the people. The theoretical foundation of this defense of democratic judgment, and the initial focus of this essay, is Aristotle's argument for collective superiority…
Liberty, Equality, Power
A chief concern of democratic theorists, today and perennially, is the potential tension between democracy's twin pillars-equality-derived majority rule and individual liberty. Reconciling these principles in practice is perhaps the gauge of democratic health. On this issue, the author finds in Aristotle's democratic analysis a timeless perspicacity. Aristotle's critique of what he calls the democratic presupposition (Politics VI) lays bare for u…
The “God-Like Man” Versus the “Best Laws
While Plato's political dialogues give much attention to the relation of the legal and the divine, this subject receives scant notice in Aristotle's Politics. But this is not a sign that Aristotle neglects or dismisses the subject; it is in fact perfectly consistent with what the author understands to be Aristotle's view of the proper political relation of laws and gods. This view emerges indirectly, and only after reflection on the substance and…
James Madison on Religion and Politics
The recentOregon v.Smithdecision's shifting of the burden in free exercise cases from legislatures to minority religious claims has brought fierce opposition, most conspicuously from leading nonpreferentialist Richard J. Neuhaus, who sees in it the foundation of majority tyranny. AgainstSmith, Neuhaus employs Madison's "Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments," which is universally read to argue that the superiority of religion to…
