Description
The Politics is one of the most influential texts in the history of political thought, and it raises issues which still confront anyone who wants to think seriously about the ways in which human societies are organized and governed. By examining the way societies are run--from households to city states--Aristotle establishes how successful constitutions can best be initiated and upheld.

The accessible introduction and clear notes examine the historical and philosophical background of the work and discuss its significance for modern political thought.
