Abstract

In this interview, Professor Oscar Godoy talks about his academic experience and the publication of his next book on Aristotle. In the first part, Professor Godoy presents his academic formation, highlighting the origin of his philosophical interests, theoretical affinities with some authors and the importance of political philosophy in political science. Later, he talks on the main issues of his next book, arguing why his work is a contribution to Aristotle’s studies. The main novelty about  this would be the identification of a systematized theory on democracy, starting from the integral composition of the bibliographical body of the Greek thinker.
