Significance and Importance of Aristotle's Politics in the Medieval and Modern Europe
Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the movement of Aristotle's Politics from the first translation in the 13th century until the 18th century, the time of the Enlightenment. The study has two main sections which are, at the same time, two big periods. First the Middle Ages with the important and more significant authors. Second the Early Modern Age, in which it tries to demonstrate how were developed two trends that correspond with both Christian beliefs: the Catholicism and the Protestantism.Downloads
