The writings of Greek philosopher ARISTOTLE (384Bi322Be-student of
Plato, teacher of Alexander the Great-are 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 Politics-considered a companion piece
to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics-the 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 Aristotle's Politics
a provocative work more than two millennia after it was written.
