Excerpt from The Politics of Aristotle, Vol. 4: With an Introduction, Two Prefatory Essays and Notes Critical and Explanatory

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Books of the Politics a systematic description of the various forms of constitution dealt with in them and a complete estimate of their strength and weakness, their merits and defects. The object of these Books is rather a practical object, to teach statesmen how to frame, amend, and administer each constitution so that it may last. Aristotle is naturally led in the course of his inquiries on this subject to mark off the various forms and sub-forms of constitution from each other, and incidentally to throw much light on their nature and tendencies, but his paramount object is a practical object, to give guidance to statesmen, not to set before us a detailed picture of each constitution and its working. We gather from what he tells us that statesmen were not aware how many sub-forms of each constitution existed, and that consequently they committed errors both in introducing and in amending constitutions. They probably confounded the sub-forms, and gave one of them institutions appropriate to another.
