According to the terms of Aristotle’s Politics, to be alive is to instantiate an operation of power. This volume addresses the intertwining of power and life in Aristotle’s thought, offering a critical re-appraisal of the concepts of life, the animal, and political animality in his political theory. It argues that Aristotle locates the origin of the human political bond in the capacity to share the most intimate aspects of life with others: from the deep
attachments that arise within the family, to the powerful connection formed by performing one’s most cherished activities with another, human political community demonstrates an amplification of animal
sociality.
