| Abstract
|
:
|
Dominic Scott compares the 'Republic' and 'Nicomachean Ethics' from a methodological perspective. He argues that Plato and Aristotle distinguish similar levels of argument in the defence of justice, and that they both follow the same approach: Plato because he thinks it will suffice, Aristotle because he thinks there is no need to go beyond it.
