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).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.
CHOICE
All of us who teach the ^RPolitics^I, no matter how many or how few times we have done it before, will teach the books better and with more pleasure having read Nichols. ^RCitizens and Statesmen^I is a marvel of close reading combined with clarity and consummate accessibility.
