| Abstract | "Comprehensive examination of the different senses in which Aristotle uses a a group of the most important political expressions in his political writings, with the aim of making possible a firmer understanding of his positions."--provided by publisher. |
| Summary | "Aristotle's Political Terminology offers a fresh approach to Aristotle's political thought by examining the language he uses in a more complex way than was possible before the appearance of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. It allows the reader to see clearly the difficulty scholars have had in commenting on and translating Aristotle's political works, which often ends in sharp differences among scholars who approach Aristotle with differing prior philosophical, political, historical, or ideological commitments. The book addresses eleven words and cognates or phrases that are fundamental to understanding Aristotle's text, many of them related to one another. They include the Greek expressions often translated, and sometimes mistranslated, by nature, property, constitution, and ideal."--from the back cover. |
