Politics

Politics is a philosophical treatise written by Aristotle, one of the most influential thinkers in Western philosophy. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of politics, government, and society. Aristotle examines the different forms of government, including democracy, oligarchy, and monarchy, and argues that the best form of government is a mixture of all three. He also explores the role of the individual in society, discussing the virtues that are necessary for a citizen to be a good member of the community. Other topics covered in the book include the nature of justice, the relationship between the individual and the state, and the proper role of education in society. Politics is considered one of the foundational works of Western political philosophy and has had a profound influence on political thought throughout history.He who thus considers things in their first growth and origin, whether a state or anything else, will obtain the clearest view of them. In the first place there must be a union of those who cannot exist without each other; namely, of male and female, that the race may continue (and this is a union which is formed, not of deliberate purpose, but because, in common with other animals and with plants, mankind have a natural desire to leave behind them an image of themselves).This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
