Description

Aristotle's "Politics" offers a fundamental exploration of Western political thought. First systematically presented in this work, it remains a cornerstone of philosophical-political inquiry. This new edition features Carnes Lord's acclaimed translation, which has served as the standard English version for nearly three decades. The translation is notable for its clear and contemporary language, while also remaining faithful to both the original Greek and Aristotle's distinctive style. The edition includes extensive notes by Lord, clarifying the flow of Aristotle's argument and identifying key literary and historical references. A glossary defines essential terms in Aristotle's philosophical-political vocabulary, enhancing readability. Lord has made revisions to problematic passages to improve accuracy and clarity. The introduction has also been substantially revised to provide a comprehensive account of Aristotle's life, writings, and political thought. This new edition is further enhanced by an up-to-date selected bibliography, providing readers with a valuable resource for exploring Aristotle's influence on subsequent political thought.
