Synopsis: Aristotle’s Politics, along with Plato’s Republic, constitutes the fountainhead of social and political theory. Sir Ernest Barker, in his Preface to this edition, describes the kind of translation which he feels is needed by the English-speaking world. "They need a version which is couched in a modern style (such as a writer would use to day in treating of politics) and furnished with appropriate 'helps to study' which will bring its substance home to their minds."
