This appreciation of Aristotle's "Politics" argues that its first question is "what is the state?", and that everything else in the treatise is dependent on the answer to this question. It examines Aristotle's two levels of logical priority and the structure of the work as a whole. The author disentangles the theoretical from the practical, the ideal from the empirical and that which is "according to nature" from that which is "against nature".
