Aristotle
(4,609 Sterne; 92 Bewertungen)
The Politics, by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, is one of the most influential texts in political philosophy. In it, Aristotle explores the role that the political community should play in developing the virtue of its citizens. One of his central ideas is that "Man is a political animal," meaning that people can only become virtuous by active participation in the political community. Aristotle also criticizes his teacher Plato, classifies and evaluates six different types of constitutions and political institutions, and describes his vision of the ideal state. Aristotle's views on women and slavery are unenlightened by today's standards, but his work remains enduring and relevant to this day.

Aristotle's view of the world then applies to today in so many ways. There is so much insight that applies to the modern world in this book. Anyone who wants to understand the intricacies of the boby politic, should have this in their arsenal.

This is not an easy book to read. Having said that, the reader's voice, pace and cadence makes listening to it worthwhile. Whether you agree with the views or not, it's definitely worth an ear.

Some of the speakers were a bit slow, but this was a decent translation and easy to understand while dozing.

This book has little chance of being assigned in an undergraduate course of any kind, owing to Aristotle's regard for women and slaves. It's basically a critique of Plato's Republic. The audiobook is mostly good, except for book VIII, sections I-IV, which are unlistenable.
Answers to a lot of questions

This book from before christ is more correct than nearly all modern philosophy books and it is to the point. How Greece has fallen from producing men like this to a country that is racked by degeneracy, invaders and abortion. It is no wonder that the average IQ has fallen to 92. I wonder what the average IQ was at the time of Aristotle
