Item Aristotle and Plato on Law : the Nicomachean Ethics and the Minos(2011-08) Kushner, Jeremy Christopher; Pangle, Lorraine Smith; Stauffer, DevinIn this paper, I examine the treatments of law contained within Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and Plato’s Minos. I find that both offer powerful and complementary critiques of law, while recognizing law’s power and promise in shaping the character and opinions of each citizen. The Minos, though, goes further than the Ethics in describing and examining the possibility of divine law that transcends the limitations of merely human laws.
