摘要
The paper explores the relationship between the government of a virtuous man and the government of laws in the thought of Algernon Sidney. For him, unlike other republicans, the former should take precedence over the second where the virtue presents itself as a possibility. However the practical difficulty that this involves leads to recognize the necessity of the government of laws. The study also seeks to show the conditions under which laws and virtue are mutually compatible.
