Description:American Journal of Political Science, 44.3 (July 2000), pp. 433-448. ISSN: 00925853 Painfully aware of the dangers that spiritedness poses for a pacific politics, we have, since the inception of modern political thought, sought to subordinate the ancient, masculine virtues to the virtue that Adam Smith would label "humanity." But our remarkably successful solution encounters today a new problem: in our emphasis on political peace, we now face the danger posed by the political apathy of a large & apparently growing number of self-absorbed, because self-satisfied, democratic citizens. Here Aristotle's political science may be helpful to us, for Aristotle's complex psychological dissection of spiritedness is keen not only to its dangers but also to its benefits for democratic life. Accordingly, his project simultaneously to subdue & defend spiritedness can serve as a useful prolegomenon to our own efforts to balance the need for a pacific political life with that of a vibrant political & intellectual culture.--The author wishes to thank the Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation for a summer grant award to research the subject presented in this essay.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
