Description
Aristotle's "Politics" is generally considered to be a founding text of Western political philosophy. It defines man's relationship to the state, the nature of political community, the mechanisms of justice and a critique of the political conditions of the time. The papers in this volume have been collected together with a view to providing a comprehensive companion to the "Politics". One dates from the 19th century, four were written specially for this volume, and the rest have been revised and edited to suit the volume's needs.
