Citizens and Statesmen

Mary P. Nichols, Professor of Political Science at Fordham University, has written extensively on classical political theory and the history of political thought, including Socrates and the Political Community: An Ancient Debate (SUNY Press, 1987).

• The origins of the city (Books I & II); finding a place for Beast and God (Book III); turning regimes into polities (Books IV, V, and VI); the best regime and the limits of politics (Books VII and VIII); citizens, statesmen, and modern political theory.

Well worth study and reflection both as a fresh interpretation of the ^RPolitics^I and as a critical assessment of contemporary scholarship on Aristotle and modern political theory.
