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.application/pdfengLawPlatoMinosAristotleNicomachean Ethicsthesis2012-02-272152/ETD-UT-2011-08-4344
