Michael Davis is professor of philosophy at Sarah Lawrence College and is the author of Aristotle's Poetics: The Poetry of Philosophy (Rowman & Littlefield, 1992).Michael Davis has for the first time shown how the disparate parts of Aristotle's <i>Politics</i> are to be understood in light of their several perplexities, and how all the parts constitute a whole that constitutes in turn political philosophy and the philosophical nature of human, i.e., political, life.

In this compact and deeply profound reading of Aristotle's <i>Politics</i>, Davis explains in a new and intriguing way why the city is thought to be natural to man. An exceptional book, filled with exciting arguments and amazing insights.
