Publisher Description

Aristotle's "A Treatise on Government," also known as "Politics," is a seminal work in the field of political philosophy. Written in the 4th century BCE, this treatise offers a profound analysis of the nature of city-states and their governance.


Aristotle examines various forms of government, including monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, and discusses their merits and pitfalls. He advocates for a mixed government system, believing it to be the most stable and just form. The work delves into the roles of citizens and the importance of education and virtue in achieving a well-functioning state. Aristotle's exploration of the relationship between the individual and the state, the idea of citizenship, and the quest for the ideal political system has had a lasting impact on Western political thought. His insights are as relevant today as they were in ancient Greece, making "A Treatise on Government" a must-read for those interested in politics, philosophy, and history.
