Basic Political Philosophy 4: ARISTOTLE's critique of his professor Plato acc. to Harry V. Jaffa

Описание: We continue Jaffa's discussion of Aristotle's Politics, this time Book II and his critique of his own professor Plato, in our discussion of an entry in the 1963 Rand McNally publication, edited by Leonard Strauss and Joseph Cropsey, called "History of Political Philosophy." This episode contains discussion of pages 80 thru the top of page 89 covering the first part of Book II of the Politics.

That entry on Aristotle is by Harry V. Jaffa, who famously applied his understanding of Political Philosophy to the history of the Republican Party in American politics, and who, as such, influenced me profoundly through my mentors, who were mentored by him. He is thus one of my intellectual grandfathers.

We continue our discussion of Harry Jaffa on Aristotle, pp. 80 thru the top of page 89 covering Book II of Aristotle's Politics, discussing an entry published the year before the author wrote one of the most infamous (or famous, depending) Aristotelean speeches for 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater (R, AZ). Jaffa also wrote one of the most influential phenomenological comparisons of the Democratic and the Republican parties using classical political philosophy for the political phenomenology in "Crisis of the House Divided" (University of Chicago Press)
