These reforms made the constitution much more democratic than that of Solon for it had come about that the tyranny had obliterated the laws of Solon by disuse, and Cleisthenes aiming at the multitude had instituted other new ones, including the enactment of the law about ostracism. In this short essay, the author will attempt to answer the question of whether or not man is a political animal.' Further, if this is the cause, we will explore whether or not Aristotle's politics allow man enough room to live up to this nature. This expanded Cambridge Texts edition contains an extensive guide to further reading and an index of names with biographical notes, in addition to a revised and extended introduction. In the Politics, and the Constitution of Athens (Politeia), Aristotle lays out a number of ideas. The Athenian Constitution by Aristotle: 9780140444315 : Books Probably written by a student of Aristotle, The Athenian Constitution is both a history and an analysis of Athens' political machinery between the seventh. Only one of Aristotle's many constitutions - The Constitution of Athens -has survived and this is now presented here alongside The Politics so that the student can appreciate both the empirical and the theoretical aspects of Aristotle's political science. Not only does it offer an unusually lucid and accessible account of The Politics, it also shows the relation between this and his studies as a constitutional historian. This new collection of Aristotle's political writings provides the student with all the necessary materials for a full understanding of his work as a political scientist.
