Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the principles of government, a topic that has captivated thinkers for centuries. The author dives into the writings of Aristotle, considered one of the most influential thinkers on the subject, comparing his ideas to those of later political theorists such as Harrington, Locke, and Sydney. Drawing on Aristotle's *Politics*, the book examines the fundamental question of who should have a voice in government, arguing that those dependent on others for their livelihood, and those focused solely on personal wealth, should not be granted political privileges. The author further analyzes Aristotle's classification of different forms of government, including monarchies, aristocracies, and democracies, and their potential for corruption. Throughout the book, the author uses the example of the French Revolution to illustrate his arguments, critiquing the decisions made by the National Assembly and asserting the need for a well-structured, balanced government. This book provides a unique perspective on the enduring relevance of Aristotle's political philosophy, highlighting its potential to provide insights into both ancient and contemporary societies.
