A Philosophical Commentary on the Politics of Aristotle

The Politics, Aristotle's classic work on the nature of political community, has been a touchstone of Western debates about society and government. Here, Peter Simpson presents a thorough analysis of the logical structure of the entire text and each of its constitutive arguments and conclusions. A valuable commentary on the philosophical argument in the Politics, the book will also serve as a sound basis for future study of Aristotle's political thought.
