Author Description

What if building a just society began with understanding human nature? In Politics, Aristotle offers a vision of government built not on control, but on purpose, virtue, and rational organization. He categorizes different systems-democracy, oligarchy, monarchy-and weighs their strengths, weaknesses, and ethical foundations.
