The writings of Greek philosopher ARISTOTLE (384BC322Bestudent of
Plato, teacher of Alexander the Greatare among the most influential
on Western thought, and indeed upon Western civilization itself.
From theology and logic to ethics and even biology, there is no
area of human knowledge that has not been touched by his thinking.
In Politicsconsidered a companion piece to Aristotles Nicomachean
Ethicsthe philosopher discusses the nature of the state, of
citizenship, of public education and private wealth. In what is a
response to the works of his teacher Plato, Aristotle explores the
idea of the individual household as a microcosm and building block
of the state; examines trade and the economy as functions of human
affairs; discusses the battle between self-interest and
nationalism; and much more. This edition features the classic
introduction by H.W.C. Davis, the renowned English historian of the
early 20th century. Students of philosophy, government, and human
nature continue to find Aristotles Politics a provocative work more
than two millennia after it was written.
