Very interesting - but Aristotle's starting point is one I am opposed to.
Very interesting - but a reminder that Aristotle never fully freed himself from Plato's collectivism. Still, full disclosure, I am on Lycophron's side of the argument - I do not believe that the state exists to make people "just and good" or that it is the job of "the legislator" to map out the lives or character of people. I hold that law exists to apply the non aggression principle of justice - hands-off non aggression in terms of the bodies and goods of individuals and voluntary associations, this view is attacked by Aristotle just as Plato attacks it.

Aristotle's Politics
An excellent edition of Aristotle's great work, including a thorough study of the writer and his times--the Politics is quite a challenging work, and this is a fine translation of the seminal set of essays.

Brilliant translation
I was quite intrigued by Aristotle, and I have never read Aristotle in my life. I decided to read this book after reading another book. I forget which one, but... Aristotle's ideas were quite advanced. Society has changed since his time, and I don't agree with everything he said, but there is much that is still valid. I was especially intrigued by his sections on oligarchy and tyranny, and I am sure that I have been influenced by the situation in India today (April 2021). It's not just India, but we have seen strongmen rise in many countries. The edition I read, is excellent. The translation I have is excellent. I like the notes at the beginning of each chapter. They provide an excellent guide.

Have to read have to think
As I am a slow reader and this book is too much reach with high level of thoughts I have just finished the Book1 in two months. But it is a real treasure to them who love to think. Should write another review when I'll finish this.
