abstract

  • This paper aims at analyzing some passages of Aristotle¿s Politics to show the characteristics of the lawgiver and think about his possible historicity. The lawgiver, as it is evident from some texts of Politics and Nicomachean Ethics, through the organization of the constitution and laws, and through the education, represents the trait d¿union between ethics and politics and seems to be an individual endowed with phronesis completely different from the Sofists of Isocrates¿ school.
