Aristotle and the Rediscovery of Citizenship confronts a question that is central to Aristotle's political philosophy as well as to contemporary political theory: what is a citizen? Answers prove to be elusive, in part because late twentieth-century critiques of the Enlightenment called into doubt fundamental tenets that once guided us. Engaging the two major works of Aristotle's political philosophy, his Nicomachean Ethics and his Politics, Susan D. Collins poses questions that current discussions of liberal citizenship do not adequately address. Drawing a path from contemporary disputes to Aristotle, she examines in detail his complex presentations of moral virtue, civic education, and law; his view of the aims and limits of the political community; and his treatment of the connection between citizenship and the human good. Collins thereby shows how Aristotle continues to be an indispensable source of enlightenment, as he has been for political and religious traditions of the past.

This study is the first comprehensive treatment of the way Marsilius of Padua (1270/1290–1342), a seminal political thinker of the Late Middle Ages, elaborated on Aristotle’s political thought in articulating his political theory. Its main thesis is that Marsilius is committed to the view of a sharp disjunction between ethics and politics, thus deviating radically not only from Aristotle, but also from the majority of medieval Commentators of Aristotle such as Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome, Peter of Auvergne and John of Jandun. From a methodological viewpoint, it follows the model of “concentric circles”: its starting point is a detailed comparison of the main ideas of the Defensor pacis ( Defender of Peace ) (1324), Marsilius’ opus magnum , on the one hand, and Marsilius' quotations from William of Moerbeke’s Latin translations of Aristotle’s works focusing in particular on the Politics , the Nicomachean Ethics , the Rhetoric and the Metaphysics as well as the Greek original, on the other. This method of exploring the use of classics in medieval political thought challenges the notion of “reception” as conceived of by recent research and brings out a number of crucial differences between Marsilius and Aristotle. Further, this study situates Marsilius’ ideas in the history of late medieval political thought (podestà literature et cetera), the political realities that obtained in 14th-century Padua and late medieval debates on the fortunes of the communal regime and on the rise of the signoria (e.g. Albertino Mussato). It also argues against Marsilius’ so-called Averroism and identifies Moses Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed as a potential source of the Defensor pacis .
