The Politics
In The Politics Aristotle addresses the questions that lie at the heart of political science. How should society be ordered to ensur e the happiness of the individual? Which forms of government are best and how should they be maintained? By analysing a range of cit y constitutions ? oligarchies, democracies and tyrannies ? he seeks to establish the strengths and weaknesses of each system to deci de which are the most effective, in theory and in practice. A hugely significant work, which has influenced thinkers as diverse as A quinas and Machiavelli, The Politics remains an outstanding commentary on fundamental political issues and concerns, and provides fa scinating insights into the workings and attitudes of the Greek city-state.
