Description

Aristotle's The Politics explores the fundamental questions of political science, examining how society should be ordered to ensure individual happiness and which forms of government are most effective. By analysing various city constitutions, Aristotle seeks to establish the strengths and weaknesses of each system, shedding light on the workings and attitudes of ancient Greek city-states. This revised edition includes introductions by T. A. Sinclair and Trevor J. Saunders, providing context for the book's influence on philosophers and its modern relevance. With a bibliography for further reading and Greek and English glossaries, this Penguin Classics edition offers authoritative insights into Aristotle's political beliefs and their enduring significance. Published in 1981, The Politics remains an important commentary on fundamental political issues, offering fascinating insights into the workings of ancient societies.
