Politics
Aristotle’s “Politics” is a profound work of political philosophy that examines the structure, purpose, and nature of the city-state. Written in the 4th century BC, it is often considered alongside his “Nicomachean Ethics” as part of a larger treatise on human affairs. In “Politics,” Aristotle analyzes various political systems, the role of citizens, and the ideal state.
