Politics (Aristotle)
Encyclopedia : P : PO : POL : Politics (Aristotle)
From the Greek word "polis"(state-city), the Politics of Aristotle is the second half of a single treatise of which his Ethics is the first. Both deal with one and the same subject. This subject is what Aristotle calls in one place the "philosophy of human affairs" but more frequently Political or Social Science. He collected and studied the constitutions of over 150 city states before writing the Politics.
