Reconstructing Aristotle’s Political Philosophy
The relevance of Aristotle’s philosophy to modern politics is not immediately evident.

Developing these elements allows for a reconstruction of Aristotle’s approach to meet our needs.
Oxford Minds Panel Discussion: Numbers
The series
For Trinity Term we are focussing on research methods.
