Aristotle’s Politics is in part a course designed to train such experts to create or reform a set of laws. The title of Politics literally means "the things concerning the πόλις ( polis)", and is the origin of the modern English word politics. The end of the Nicomachean Ethics declared that the inquiry into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise-or perhaps connected lectures-dealing with the "philosophy of human affairs".

Of course, a proper reading of ON THE ROAD would demonstrate that but perhaps it would do no harm to turn to the novel he wrote in the wake of its rapturous reception and which was published in the US the year after. Kerouac is a serious and substantial author, for whom fiction is a valid medium of spiritual enquiry. Just as during his lifetime, the author has again been represented as a wild man of American letters – a restless, irresponsible hedonist whose writings simply record what he saw, what he felt and what he consumed as he went looking for ‘kicks’. On the one hand, as an admirer of Kerouac, I am glad to see him being given due recognition on the other hand, I am disappointed by the assumption behind those celebrations. Writing this article in the wake of last year’s celebrations in the press and on radio and television of the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac’s most famous novel, ON THE ROAD, I must confess to being in two minds.
