Politics by Aristotle is a cornerstone of political philosophy, unfolding in dialogues and reflections on the nature of the state, citizenship and governance. Through a conscientious analysis of different political systems-monarchy, aristocracy and democracy-Aristotle explores the roles and duties of rulers and citizens while examining the ethical foundations of justice and the common good. Written in the 4th century BCE, the Politics engages with timeless questions of power, virtue and civic responsibility, drawing on both historical examples and theoretical ideals. Rich in logic, reason and insight, the Politics remains an essential guide to understanding the complexities of political life. A profound exploration of the structures that bind society, the incredible piece has earned its place as one of the most influential works in the history of political thought.

Aristotle (384–322 BCE) was a Greek philosopher and polymath whose work laid the foundations for Western philosophy and science. Born in Stagira, in Northern Greece, Aristotle was the son of a physician, which sparked his early interest in the natural sciences. At 17, he moved to Athens to study at Plato’s Academy, where he resided for 20 years. After Plato’s death, Aristotle left Athens and tutored Alexander the Great, further shaping his views on politics, ethics and governance. Aristotle’s immeasurable work spans logic, metaphysics, ethics, biology and politics, and his intellectual legacy is unrivalled in its scope. The Politics, written in the 4th century BCE, is one of his most celebrated works, offering profound insights into the nature of the state, citizenship and the ideal forms of government. His contributions to logic, particularly his development of syllogistic reasoning, revolutionised knowledge study. Aristotle’s method of empirical observation, combined with rigorous philosophical analysis, has had a lasting impact on science, philosophy and political theory. Despite living over two millennia ago, Aristotle’s ideas continue to reverberate today, influencing disciplines ranging from political science to ethics, and his works remain a bedrock of classical education.
