Aristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and writer, born at Stagirus in 384 BC, was the son of Nicomachus, a physician, and Phaestis. He studied under Plato at Athens and taught there (367-347); subsequently he spent three years at the court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor and at this time married Pythias, one of Hermeias' relations. After some time at Mitylene, in 343-2 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip's death in 336, Aristotle became head of his own school (of 'Peripatetics'), the Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after Alexander's death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322.
Aristotle's Politics is a key document in Western political thought. In these first two books Aristotle shows his complete mastery of political theory and practice, and raises many crucial issues still with us today. In Book I he argues vigorously for a political theory based on 'nature'. By nature, man is a 'political animal', one naturally fitted for life in a polis or state. Some people, however, are natural slaves; and women are by nature subordinate to men. Acquisition and exchange are natural, but not trading for profit. In Book II he launches a sharp attack on Plato's two 'utopias', the Republic and the Laws, and also criticizes three historical states reputed to be well governed: Sparta, Crete, and Carthage. This volume contains a close translation of these two books, together with a philosophical commentary. It is well suited to the requirements of readers who do not know Greek.

作為《政治學》上篇的《尼可馬各倫理學》知名度不如《政治學》高,但我們老師認為本書價值卻高於《政治學》,於是乎我便開讀這一本號稱西方倫理學開山之作的《尼可馬各倫理學》。本書據傳是亞裏士多德之子尼可馬各編纂,在古希臘雅典文明的鼎盛時期就曾作為教科書——可見本書...
評分終於用半年多的時間細讀瞭一遍,做一些簡單的總結。 相比一年前掃的第一遍,這一遍的好處當然在於態度更加仔細、認真,擺脫瞭很多闡釋的教條、動用自身的體驗去發現文本裏的問題,並且能夠深入到細節之中進行討論,和彆人互相印證,發現瞭許多重要的問題;缺點則在於剛剛開始...
評分 評分我在想,如果當年我就讀到廖申白這本,而不是苗力田那本,估計我對亞叔的興趣就不會這麼姍姍來遲。當年苗力田那本,勉強看完第一章,就扔掉,從此把亞叔打入冷宮。 苗爺爺的那本沒有給力的注釋,而且對比廖申白這本,更像是一種意譯。苗爺爺自然功力深厚,無人可比,但他自己...
