If friendship is the basis of community, Aristotle''s ideal community must be rather clannish and exclusive.  It is an uncomfortable view of political life from the standpoint of the twenty-first century, both for liberals and  liberalism''s critics.  And many of Aristotle''s own  positions, for example his strong criticism of  Plato''s city in speech, do not seem to square with  it.  Is it the right picture?   This book argues  that, from Aristotle''s perspective, a politics  focused on virtue neither necessarily excludes  persons who are not fully virtuous from politics nor  coerces citizens who are not wholly virtuous into  acting well.  Aristotle makes debate and community  feeling compatible by reconstructing tribal feelings  (or associative emotions) into something politically  capable.  Debate is also transformed in the process  by the special commitments one makes when entering  into a political association.  This, in brief, is  Aristotle''s answer to liberals and their critics:  A  certain kind of community and a certain kind of  debate make liberalism possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844300697\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnity, Disorder and Friendship\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844300697","offer_id":39469968064605,"sku":"9783844300697","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/8a5ed4e9-0552-4765-b96f-3794ae6bfc74.jpg?v=1776233067","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/aristotles-liberalism-of-virtue-von-jenifer-cartland","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
