Aristotle

Autor Aristotle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2017
This new collection of Aristotle's political writings provides the student with all the necessary materials for a full understanding of his work as a political scientist. Not only does it offer an unusually lucid and accessible account of The Politics, it also shows the relation between this and his studies as a constitutional historian. Only one of Aristotle's many constitutions - The Constitution of Athens -has survived and this is now presented here alongside The Politics so that the student can appreciate both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of Aristotle's political science. This expanded Cambridge Texts edition contains an extensive guide to further reading and an index of names with biographical notes, in addition to a revised and extended introduction. Presentation of The Politics and The Constitution of Athens in a single volume will make this the most attractive and convenient student edition of these seminal works currently available.

Recenzii

The present volume, which is the first (and so far, the only) installment in the Clarendon Aristotle Series treatment of the NE, does and admirable job of continuing the fine tradition of the series by offering an impeccable translation of Books VIII and IX and providing some of much needed commentary in English on a neglected aspect of Aristotle's ethical theory. The translation is crisp and fluid, showing the marked attention to textual detail that has become the hallmark of the Series... the commentary displays Pakaluk's deep familiarity with the philosophical issues involved. Pakaluk's commentary is careful and methodical. Pakaluk's analytic approach is unencumbered by the technical aparatus all too common in philosophical analysis of this kind: instead the commentary is as fluent and easy to read as the translation, and should be of use to classicists as well as analytic philosophers.
