Synopsis "Politics: A Treatise on Government"
In this book, Aristotle provides many brilliant insights into the political thinking and strategy of political and military leaders. In many ways, it remains unsurpassed and it ought to be required reading in undergraduate classes on political strategy. Aristotle's descriptions of governments fit well with small city-states as were common in ancient Greece, making his book a good read for anyone interested in politics. Several principles he covers are valid today, and there is much to be learned from his thoughts. When reading Aristotle, it is important to understand that he lived in a totally different world where slavery was acceptable and universal suffrage was considered dangerous. Therefore his definition of a democracy varies quite a bit from the modern definition. His view of government involvement in people's lives is surprising, such as what and how children should be taught or what career they should be directed into. Aristotle covers a wide range of topics, ranging from property rights and slavery to money-making and taxes. Many journal articles and books published today reflect Aristotle's ideas in one way or another. Among books that serve as a source from where modern political philosophies have emerged, this is a must read. Your eyes will be opened as realize Aristotle's dilemmas are very similar, if not the same, to the dilemmas faced by culture today.
