Acknowledgments; Abbreviations of Aristotle's Works; Introduction: Aristotle's Politics: Living Well and Living Together; 1. Book I: Slavery and the Will to Power; 2. Book II: Aristotle's State as a Work of Art; 3. The Justice of Book III and the Incompleteness of the Normative; 4. Practical Knowledge and the Four Orientations to the Best; 5. Factions and the Paradox of Aristotelian Practical Science; 6. The Best Life and the Common Life; Conclusion: People as Political Animals; Notes; Works Cited; Index of Names; Index of Passages in Aristotle's Works.

Summary: "Man is a political animal," Aristotle asserts near the beginning of the Politics. In this novel reading of one of the foundational texts of political philosophy, Eugene Garver traces the surprising implications of Aristotle's claim and explores the treatise's relevance to ongoing political concerns. Often dismissed as overly grounded in Aristotle's specific moment in time, in fact the Politics challenges contemporary understandings of human action and allows us to better see ourselves today. Close examination of Aristotle's treatise, Garver finds.
