By analyzing the teleological underpinnings of Aristotelian political theory, I defend the claims that (1) Aristotelian thought rests upon a conformist notion of democratic life in which the possibility of individual freedom gets eclipsed under the force of the community, and (2) the cynic conception of man, which omits any metaphysical commitments, gives us valuable resources for rethinking the Aristotelian doctrine of the \u201cpolitical animal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presentation by David M.
