At no moment in history has the world been confronted with such crucial political problems as those which are growing out of the present global war. For this reason this publication of Aristotle’s classic work on the science and art of government in the definitive Jowett translation is as timely as it is essential to a comprehension of the basic principles of order in society. Here, for student and general reader alike, is the complete and unabridged version of the Politics, with a biographical and interpretative Introduction by Max Lerner, Professor of Political Science at Williams College.
