Book excerpt: Politics: A Treatise on Government is an essential work of political philosophy by Aristotle, in which he examines politics and human society by stages. A landmark treatise in Aristotelian philosophy, this text is divided into a total of eight books, each of which deliver an analysis into a specific element of political activity in the wider society. Book I contains Aristotle's famous discussion of the political community which develops in cities. The famous phrase 'political animal' is coined in support of Aristotle's belief that working in the public sector to advance society is the highest form of virtue a person can aspire to. Book II examines various types of governmental regimes - here, Aristotle draws upon several texts, in particular that of The Republic by Plato, wherein a discussion of ruling governments - democratic, oligarchic, and tyrannic - takes place. Book III discusses the nature of citizenship in the society. Aristotle narrows down the attributes and qualities that an inhabitant of a given city must possess in order to be counted as a true, participating citizen. Book IV further examines political theories in discussing types of government and the nature and function of constitutions in society. Book V looks at how constitutions may evolve or develop with time, and how change may suddenly occur within a society should a revolution occur. The inherent instability lurking behind many tyrannical societies is also drawn upon to support Aristotle's statements. Book VI compares democratic and oligarchic constitutions, noting the essential differences and how they affect the manner in which said societies are governed. Book VII discusses how a state might aspire to becoming idea, in how happiness and living standards can be maximized. The location of cities, their populations and their position in the pecking order of other territories is discussed. The qualities possessed by its citizens, and the institutions of marriage and the bearing of children is also examined. Book VIII talks about the way in which education can best serve both those who are learners and the wider society.

Book excerpt: Aristotle's "Politics" is the best work ever written on the concepts that help shape countries of the world and their governments. Although he strongly supports the out-dated institution of slavery, his views on constitution and running of government are classical. Though he discusses Greek city-states and institutions of that era, his work forms the basis of modern-day political science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “groundbreaking translation” of the foundational text of Western political thought, now in a revised and expanded edition (History of Political Thought). Aristotle’s masterwork is the first systematic treatise on the science of politics. Carnes Lord’s lucid translation helped raise scholarly interest in the work and has served as the standard English edition for decades. Widely regarded as the most faithful to both the original Greek and Aristotle’s distinctive style, it is also written in clear, contemporary English. This new edition of the Politics retains and adds to Lord’s already extensive notes, clarifying the flow of Aristotle’s argument and identifying literary and historical references. A glossary defines key terms in Aristotle’s philosophical-political vocabulary. Lord has also made revisions to problematic passages throughout the translation in order to enhance both its accuracy and its readability. He has also substantially revised his introduction for the new edition, presenting an account of Aristotle’s life in relation to political events of his time; the character and history of his writings and of the Politics in particular; his overall conception of political science; and his impact on subsequent political thought from antiquity to the present. Further enhancing this new edition is an up-to-date selected bibliography.

Since then we propose to inquire what civil society is of all others best for those who have it in their power to live entirely as they wish, it is necessary to examine into the polity of those States which are allowed to be well governed; and if there should be any others which some persons have described, and which appear properly regulated, to note what is right and useful in them; and when we point out wherein they have failed, let not this be imputed to an affectation of wisdom, for it is because there are great defects in all those which are already established that I have been induced to undertake this work. We will begin with that * part of the subject which naturally presents itself first to our consideration. The members of every State must of necessity have all things in common, or some things common, and not others, or nothing at all common. To have nothing in common is evidently impossible, for society itself is one species of community; and the first thing necessary thereunto, is a common place of habitation--namely, the city-- which must be one, and this every citizen must have a share in. But in a government which is to be well founded, will it be best to admit of a community in everything which is capable thereof, or only in some particulars, but in others not? for it is possible that the citizens may have their wives and children and goods in common, as in Plato's Commonwealth; for in that Socrates affirms that all these particulars ought to be so. Which then shall we prefer? the custom which is already established, or the laws which are proposed in that treatise? CHAPTER II. Now as a community of wives is attended with many other difficulties, so neither does the cause for which he would frame his...

Book excerpt: Twenty-three centuries after its compilation, 'The Politics' still has much to contribute to this central question of political science. Aristotle's thorough and carefully argued analysis is based on a study of over 150 city constitutions, covering a huge range of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best - both ideally and in particular circumstances - and how they may be maintained. Aristotle's opinions form an essential background to the thinking of philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli and Jean Bodin and both his premises and arguments raise questions that are as relevant to modern society as they were to the ancient world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aristotle's Politics, then, is a handbook for the legislator, the expert who is to be called in when a state wants help. We have called him a state doctor. It is one of the most marked characteristics of Greek political theory that Plato and Aristotle think of the statesman as one who has knowledge of what ought to be done, and can help those who call him in to prescribe for them, rather than one who has power to control the forces of society. The desire of society for the statesman's advice is taken for granted, Plato in the Republic says that a good constitution is only possible when the ruler does not want to rule; where men contend for power, where they have not learnt to distinguish between the art of getting hold of the helm of state and the art of steering, which alone is statesmanship, true politics is impossible." -Introduction by A. D. LINDSAY

Book excerpt: 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. The work of one of the world's greatest philosophers, it draws on Aristotle's own great knowledge of the political and constitutional affairs of the Greek cities. By examining the way societies are run - from households to city states - Aristotle establishes how successful constitutions can best be initiated and upheld. For this edition Sir Ernest Barker's fine translation, which has been widely used for nearly half a century, has been extensively revised to meet the needs of the modern reader. The accessible introduction and clear notes by R F Stalley examine the historical and philosophical background of the work and discuss its significance for modern political thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Aristotle is the second part of a treatise of which the Ethics is the first. It looks back to the Ethics as the Ethics looks forward to the Politics, as Aristotle did not separate the spheres of the statesman and the moralist. In the Ethics he has described the character necessary for the good life, but that life is for him essentially to be lived in society, and when in the last chapters of the Ethics he comes to the practical application of his inquiries, that finds expression not in moral exhortations addressed to the individual but in a description of the legislative opportunities of the statesman. The state is "a community of well-being in families and aggregations of families for the sake of a perfect and self-sufficing life" and the legislator is a craftsman whose material is society and whose aim is the good life.
