'Andrew Murray offers us an ingenious and humane reading of
Aristotle's Politics. He presents the Politics as its author
intended it to be received, as a work that clarifies how we must
think about political matters and order our civic communities if we
are to bring out the best in our humanity. He does this by blending
classical political philosophy with the concerns of contemporary
political societies of the Pacific islands: the chapters of the
book move back and forth between Aristotle and life in Melanesia,
Polynesia, and Micronesia. Murray acknowledges the sharp difference
between the classical city and the modern state, and shows what we
who live in modern states are in danger of losing if we abandon
Aristotle for Hobbes.' Robert Sokolowski, Elizabeth Breckenridge
