Listen "Aristotle - People Who Excel As Laws Unto Themselves - Sadler's Shorts"
Episode Synopsis
This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Aristotle's Politics, where he raises the idea of a person who so clearly excels everyone else around them in virtue that it seems strange to have them governed by others. He suggests that such a person is a law unto themself, and that if you're fortunate enough to have such a person, they ought to be given authority.
