Katharina Nieswandt Authors New Book "The Good Life and the Good State"

Katharina Nieswandt authored a new book, "The Good Life and the Good State: A Neo-Aristotelian Theory of Government," published by Anthem Press, January 2025.

Description: There is no good human life outside of a state, and the good state enables us to live well together – so says Constitutivism, the theory developed in this book. Reinvigorating Aristotelian ideas, the author asks in what sense citizens of modern, populous and pluralistic societies share a common good.
