Jana asked:

Could you please explain to me, what is a Nussbaumian philosophy or a Nussbaumian dictatorship? I
would appreciate your answer to be rather simple, I need it for my translation work and can`t find it
anywhere. Thank you.

============

Martha C Nussbaum is Professor of Law and Ethics at the University of Chicago. She is an Aristotle
scholar and so her 'Nussbaumian philosophy' or 'dictatorship' are probably glosses or expositions of
what Aristotle taught about democracy and dictatorship. It would be helpful if you could offer a
broader context of the text you are translating so that more specific help might be given.
