Political excellence is at the center of Aristotle’s policies. The contributions gathered in this volume are all aimed at shedding light on various perspectives of this theme: the nature of the city, the famous Chapter 4 of Book III, the role of the good man in various systems, the “city that is to be constituted according to our wishes” (Books 7 and 8), and current reflections of Aristotle on excellence.
