Politics (Dover Thrift Editions: Philosophy)
Aristotle's inquiry into how communities ought to be arranged, in the Benjamin Jowett translation that has served English readers for more than a century. Dover's thrift edition presents it without apparatus, which is either a convenience or a limitation depending on how much hand-holding you require. The text moves from the household to the city-state, asking not what government sounds best in theory but which constitutions actually persist and why they fail. Jowett's prose is Victorian in its cadence—measured, slightly formal, occasionally more dignified than the original Greek probably deserved.For readers who want to watch political philosophy being built from the ground up, plank by plank.
