Alfarabi (ca. 870-950) founded the great tradition of
Aristotelian/Platonic political philosophy in medieval Islamic and
Arabic culture. In this second volume of political writings,
Charles E. Butterworth presents translations of Alfarabi's
Political Regime and Summary of Plato's Laws, accompanied by
introductions that discuss the background for each work and explore
its teaching. In addition, the texts are carefully annotated to aid
the reader in following Alfarabi's argument. An
Arabic-English/English-Arabic glossary allows interested readers to
verify the way particular words are translated. Throughout,
Butterworth's method is to translate consistently the same Arabic
word by the same English word, rendering Alfarabi's style in an
unusually faithful and yet approachable manner.
