This expanded Cambridge Texts edition contains an extensive guide to further reading and an index of names with biographical notes, in addition to a revised and extended introduction. Athenian Democracy refers to the system of democratic government used in Athens, Greece from the 5th to 4th century BCE. Only one of Aristotle's many constitutions - The Constitution of Athens -has survived and this is now presented here alongside The Politics so that the student can appreciate both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of Aristotle's political science.

Not only does it offer an unusually lucid and accessible account of The Politics, it also shows the relation between this and his studies as a constitutional historian.

This new collection of Aristotle's political writings provides the student with all the necessary materials for a full understanding of his work as a political scientist.
