Book Details

"Through a careful exegesis, Pangle unpacks Aristotle's text and illuminates the work's multilayered rhetorical structure.... Understanding the literary character of the work allows readers to clearly understand its substance.... Anyone with a serious interest in understanding Aristotle will benefit from, and enjoy, reading this book." (Choice) "Pangle is one of our finest contemporary political philosophers. His contributions to the study of classical political philosophy are well known. The appearance of his book on Aristotle's Politics is thus an occasion of note.... Readers will find themselves provoked by Pangle's exegesis to return to the Politics itself-a result, no doubt, that would please him most of all." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)"
