An Interpretation of the Deep Disagreement between Plato and Protagoras from the Perspective of Contemporary Meta-Ethics and Political Epistemology
Since the early 20th century, two new disciplines emerged in the tradition of analytic philosophy: meta-ethics and political epistemology. Nevertheless, debates on such questions go back to the ancient Greeks and, in particular, to the debates between Plato and Protagoras. This article elucidates the controversy between Plato and the influential sophist Protagoras from the perspective of contemporary meta-ethics and political epistemology. It arg…
Aristotle’s Understanding of Democratic Justice and His Distinction between Two Kinds of Equality: A Response
This short article is a response to Douglas Cairns, Mirko Canevaro, and Kleanthis Mantzouranis, who in Polis 39 (2022) explicitly criticize both of my previous interpretations of Aristotle’s view of democratic justice and of the relation of proportional and numerical equality. Against Cairns et al., I argue that there is no tension or contradiction between Aristotle’s statements on these two kinds of equality and on democratic justice. The paper …
Martha Nussbaum and Aristotle on Distributive Justice and Equality
This article gives a detailed analysis of Nussbaum’s ‘capabilities approach’ and her claim that it is a genuinely Aristotelian contemporary po-litical philosophy. The paper examines how Nussbaum bases her ‘capabilities approach’ on human nature and questions her assertion that both Aristotle’s account of human nature and her own approach are not metaphysical. In order to analyze the normative dimension of Nussbaum’s ‘capabilities approach’, this …
La discusión aristotélica acerca de la destrucción y estabilidad de los sistemas políticos
Este artículo analiza la teoría aristotélica del 'conflicto entre facciones' (stasis) en el libro 5 de la Política de Aristóteles y afirma que esta misma teoría ataca el relato a-histórico del cambio constitucional que Platón desarrolla en la República. La investigación aristotélica sobre las causas de la stasis tiene como objetivo normativo práctico la estabilización de los regímenes políticos y la prevención contra su 'cambio' (metabolê). Este …
Nietzsche’s Perspectivism as an Epistemological and Meta-Ethical Position
Perspectivism as an Epistemological and Meta-Ethical Position 1 Different interpretations of Nietzsche's perspectivism and philosophyIn the literature, Nietzsche's perspectivism is usually interpreted as a theory of truth, an "epistemological position",1 or as his "attempt to give an account of how knowledge of the world is (or is not) possible".2However, within the recent literature it has been claimed that it is fundamentally dubious to reconst…

Deep Disagreements on Values, Justice, and Moral Issues: Towards an Ethics of Disagreement
Scholars have long recognized the existence of myriad widespread deep disagreements on values, justice, morality, and ethics. In order to come to terms with such deep disagreements, resistant to rational solution, this article asserts the need for developing an ethics of disagreement. The reality that theoretical disagreements often turn into practical conflicts is a major justification for why such an ethics is necessary. This paper outlines an …
Max Weber on Politics, Reason, and the Clash of Values and Approaches to Ethics
This article investigates how Max Weber’s theory of value conflict is connected to his realist understanding of politics and how he conceives the relation of politics and ethics. This investigation also covers Weber’s views on the argumentative limits of the social sciences and ethics. The center of Weber’s philosophy of science is constituted by his methodological thoughts on “ethical neutrality” (Wertfreiheit) of the social sciences. The first …

Machiavelli’s realist image of humanity and his justification of the state
This article examines Machiavelli?s image of humanity. It argues against the prevailing views that characterize it either as pessimistic or optimistic and defends the thesis that the Floren?tine has a realist image of humanity. Machiavelli is a psychological egoist who conceives of man as a being whose actions are motivated by his drives, appetites, and passions, which lead him often to immoral behavior. Man?s main drives are ?ambition? (ambizion…
Aristóteles y el pensamiento político aristocrático
10. Según una influyente línea interpretativa, la mejor polis de Aristóteles debe ser considerada una politeia (πολιτεία). Esta corriente predomina aún hoy entre los eruditos alemanes. En tanto paladina de la “social democracia aristotélica”, Martha Nussbaum pertenece también a esta línea exegética. En oposición a tales interpretaciones, este ensayo defiende la tesis de que Aristóteles pertenece a la tradición de pensamiento político aristocrátic…
