Summers, Cornell University, USA Michel Troper, Universite´ de Paris Quest - Nanterre, France Carl Wellman, Washington University, USA The Law and Philosophy Library, which has been in existence since 1985, aims to publish cutting edge works in the philosophy of law, and has a special history of publishing books that focus on legal reasoning and argumentation, including those that may involve somewhat formal methodologies. The series has published numer- ous important books on law and logic, law and artificial intelligence, law and language, and law and rhetoric. While continuing to stress these areas, the series has more recently expanded to include books on the intersection between law and the Continental philosophical tradition, consistent with the traditional openness of the series to books in the Continental jurisprudential tradition. The series is proud of the geographic diversity of its authors, and many have come from Latin America, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Eastern Europe, as well, more obviously for an English-language series, from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Canada.

Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland For Luciano de Camargo Penteado, in memoriam Preface This book is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration over many years (from 2007 onward) between ancient philosophers, legal theorists, political scientists, and historians. These scholars share an extensive reading-knowledge of Aristotle’s work, some from a purely philosophical background, and good knowledge of the ancient Greek language, others from the perspective of legal and political theory. Collaboration on this book was initiated during two workshops, one combined with a Symposium on Law and Emotion in Amsterdam (2014) and one during the IVR conference in Washington (2015). All contributions were extensively reviewed by two reviewers in 2016, as far as possible externally (double-blind), some internally (half-blind), and in a few cases in an open review. One of the reviewers is primarily an expert in ancient philosophy, while the other is an expert in contemporary legal or political theory. The reviewers were asked to express their preference on the basis of a blind overview of abstracts, and it was possible to give each reviewer one or two texts to review according to their preference. This shows that the chapters each attract their own public. We wish to thank the following reviewers: Clifford Bates, Stefano Bertea, Enrico Berti, Giovanni Bombelli, Jose´ Britto, Edith Brugmans, Iris van Domselaar, Joao Hobuss, Samuli Hurri, Oliver Lembcke, Giuseppe Lorini, Paolo di Lucia, Saulo de Matos, Terry Maroney, Francesca Piazza, Christof Rapp, Claudio Sarra, Marlene Sokolon, Adriel Trott, Gerard Versluis, and Raphael Zillig. Complete information about the reviewing procedure has been provided to Springer, which reviewed the book as a whole with the help of two reviewers. The book starts with a reprint of two articles, one by Terry Maroney and the other by Christof Rapp, both of which are revisions of their keynote lectures delivered at the Symposium on Law and Emotion in Amsterdam. Both papers are published after being subjected to an open peer review.1 Together the two articles 1An open peer review of both articles can be found at http://www.paulscholten.eu/theoretical- relevance/r/law-and-emotion/. vii viii Preface give a good introduction to the contemporary debate around Aristotle’s view on emotion. All other contributions were written as original publications for this book, with the exception of one English translation of an article by Cristina Viano which was published in French in 2011 in Me´tis. We also wish to express our gratitude to Daniela Bonanno for her careful corrections and harmonization of the Greek language transcriptions.
