Description

Aristotle asks what the polis is for, and which constitution can bear the good life. Household and city, the citizen, forms of rule and their corruptions, and the case for a middle regime are sorted as practical analysis. Usable listening on government as classification, virtue, and the city’s end, for anyone who wants the argument clear and usable.

He was a student of Plato and is widely regarded as one of the most important thinkers in history, pioneering the fields of aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, politics, and science. His works were instrumental in the development of Western thought and have been a major source of inspiration throughout the ages.
