In ancient Greece, Aristotle's key work "Politics: A Treatise on Government" was written. This timeless classic from the fourth century BCE is an in-depth exploration of human nature, business, and values of governing. Aristotle's "Politics" is divided into eight volumes, each addressing various aspects of political philosophy and practice. He begins by considering the nature of the state and the purpose of political organizations, claiming that the state exists to promote the common good and human flourishing. Throughout the work, Aristotle delves into topics that include ideal forms of governance, citizenship, justice, and the role of law. He categorizes and evaluates several types of constitutions, such as monarchy, aristocracy, and the rule of law. A key theme in "Politics" is the concept of "best" or "virtuous" government, which Aristotle defines as a composite constitution that combines elements of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. This version of "Politics A Treatise on Government" is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) He was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist whose thought determined the course of Western intellectual history for two centuries. In 335, he established his own school in Athens, the Lyceum. His intellectual range was very wide, covering the greater part of science and various art streams. His ethical and political theory, particularly his concepts of ethical virtues and human growing "happiness," continues to have a philosophical impact. He wrote productively. His major surviving works include the Organon, De Anima's (On the Soul), Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean ethics, Eudemian Ethics, Magna Moralia, Poetics, Politics, and Rhetoric, as well as more different works on science and natural history. His father, Nicomachus, was King Amyntas of Macedon's personal physician. Aristotle learned about biology and medical information from his father when he was young. When Aristotle was approximately thirteen, both of his parents died, and Proxenus of Atarneus became his guardian. Although little is known about Aristotle's youth, he most likely spent some time at the Macedonian palace, where he formed his initial links with the Macedonian royalty.
