With this book, Delba Winthrop punctures this complacency and takes up the challenge of justifying democracy through Aristotle's political science. In Aristotle's time and in ours, democrats want inclusiveness; they want above all to include everyone as a part of a whole. But what makes a whole? This is a question for both politics and philosophy, and Winthrop shows that Aristotle pursues the answer in the \u003cem\u003ePolitics\u003c\/em\u003e. She uncovers in his political science the insights philosophy brings to politics and, especially, the insights politics brings to philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough her appreciation of this dual purpose and her skilled execution of her argument, Winthrop makes profound discoveries. Central to politics, she maintains, is the quality of assertiveness—the kind of speech that demands to be heard. Aristotle, she shows for the first time, carries assertive speech into philosophy, where human reason claims its due as a contribution to the universe. Political science has the high role of teaching ordinary folk about democracy and what sustains it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis posthumous publication is more than an honour to Delba Winthrop's memory.
