In Endangered Excellence , Pierre Pellegrin provides a fresh interpretation of Aristotles Politics , revealing the extent to which Aristotle diverged from other ancient writers on politics, and the extent to which many of his positions resemble modern attitudes in political philosophy.
Pellegrin highlights a number of strikingly original positions in his thought.
Aristotle took humans to be inherently political, for example, even as he believed this characteristic developed more completely in men than in women, and in Greeks more than in barbarians.
