Excerpt from The Politics of Aristotle, Vol. 4: With an Introduction, Two Prefatory Essays and Notes Critical and Explanatory
The absolute kingship exists where a man or a family of surpassing virtue and political ability (3. 13. 12843. 3 sqq.: 4 3. 1325b IO sqq.) rules over men capable of being ruled with a view to the most desirable life, who gladly accept his or their rule.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive analysis of Aristotle's Politics explores the depth of his insights into statecraft and state governance. Aristotle discusses several forms of constitutions, focusing on the ideal kingship and aristocracy based on merit and common good. He then examines the deviation-forms, or imperfect states, including oligarchy, democracy, and tyranny, delving into their variations, strengths, and weaknesses. Aristotle's examination of both ideal and imperfect states reveals his understanding of the complex relationship between rulers and the ruled, the importance of justice, and the role of education in shaping citizens. This book provides valuable insights into the evolution of political thought and remains a foundational text for the study of political science and government.
