Politics

A natural continuance of the Ethics, Aristotle describes all kinds of political systems, the character of the state, the character of the citizen. He gives suggestions on how the state should be organized and what is the end of the state. The fact that much of his work has been lost, makes the book incomplete and the work unfinished. So, the reader is not shown any conclusions to Aristotle's contemplation. Politics could be related to Plato's The Republic in some aspects, although Aristotle many times criticizes his mentor and his sayings in similar matters. Overall, an interesting book with many insights on political systems of the ancient world, but with limited conclusive context.
