Aristotle's Criticism of Plato's Republic (Paperback, New)

The first five chapters of the second book of Aristotle's Politics
contain a series of criticisms levelled against Plato's Republic.
Despite the abundance of studies that have been done on Aristotle's
Politics, these chapters have for the most part been neglected;
there has been no book-length study of them this century. In this
important new book, Robert Mayhew fills this unfortunate gap in
Aristotelian scholarship, analyzing these chapters in order to
discover what they tell us about Aristotle's political philosophy.
Mayhew demonstrates that in Politics II 1-5, Aristotle is
presenting his views on an extremely fundamental issue: the unity
of the city. Indeed, he states, almost all of Aristotle's
criticisms of the Republic center on this important subject in one
way or another. Only by understanding Aristotle's views on the
proper unity of the city, Mayhew explains, can we adequately
discover his views on the proper relationship between the
individual and the city. Students and scholars of classical
political philosophy will be greatly interested in this innovative
book.
