Middlesex, England: Penguin Books, 1970. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) was one of the most influential philosophers of classical times. He wrote accounts of over 150 constitutions, and initiated the comparative study of political institutions. In The Politics he discusses which types of constitution are best and how they may be maintained. Like Plato, under whom he studied for twenty years, he considered that political philosophy should embrace the whole of human behaviour as well as the relationship of the individual to the state. Thus the problems he tackles are as relevant now as they were to the Greek city-states of his own day. 320 pages. Toning of pages else very clean and unmarked with a solid binding.
