By Robert Mayhew
The first five chapters of the second book of Aristotle's Politics contain a series of criticisms leveled against Plato's Republic. In this important new book, Robert Mayhew demonstrates that within this criticism Aristotle presents his views on an extremely fundamental issue: the unity of the city and the proper relationship between the individual and the city.
