Abstract
Considering the status of women in the writings of Plato and Aristotle, Professor Salkever sees a complex attempt, on their part, to oppose the Greek tendency to equate virility and virtue. This tendency, he says, is shared by many modern republican critics of liberal individualism. Far from exalting the claims of the polls, Plato and Aristotle resist the temptation to dichotomize public and private life and thus present the outlines of an understanding of politics that is distinct from both individualism and participatory communitarianism.
