Aristotle

Opis

This collection of Aristotle's political writings provides the student with the necessary materials for a full understanding of his work as a political scientist. It offers an accessible account of The Politics and shows the relation between this and his studies as a constitutional historian. Only one of Aristotle's many constitutions - the Constitution of Athens - has survived and this is now presented here alongside The Politics so that the student can appreciate both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of Aristotle's political science. This expanded edition contains a guide to further reading and an index of names with biographical notes, in addition to a revised and extended introduction.
