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.
