About this audiobook
"Politics: A Treatise on Government" is a classic work of political philosophy written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. The book is one of the most influential works in the history of political thought and is widely regarded as one of the foundational texts of Western political theory.
In "Politics", Aristotle sets out to examine the nature of political communities and to provide a systematic analysis of different forms of government. He discusses the virtues and vices of various political systems, including democracy, oligarchy, and tyranny, and he explores the idea of the ideal state and how it might be achieved.
The book is organized into eight books, each of which covers a different topic related to political theory. These topics include the nature of political communities, the role of the individual in society, the different forms of government, the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, the importance of law and justice, and the role of education in the formation of citizens.
Aristotle's approach is characterized by a deep concern for the practical problems of politics and a belief that the best form of government is one that is grounded in the virtues of its citizens. He also emphasizes the importance of the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the need for checks and balances in order to prevent the abuse of power.
Overall, "Politics" is a complex and nuanced work of political philosophy that remains relevant and influential today. It continues to be studied and debated by scholars and politicians alike, and its ideas have played a significant role in the development of Western political thought.
Aristotle
Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher whose works spanned multiple disciplines including math, science and the arts. He spent his formative years in Athens, where he studied under Plato at his famed academy. Once an established scholar, he wrote more than 200 works detailing his views on physics, biology, logic, ethics and more. Due to his undeniable influence, particularly on Western thought, Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, is considered one of the great Greek philosophers.
