Classics of Moral and Political Theory

This third edition offers a superior new translation of Aristotle's Politics and a revised and improved translation of the Irwin Nicomachean Ethics. It also features the restoration -- in pre-eminent new translations -- of two classic texts absent from the second edition: Aquinas' Treatise on Law (abridged) and Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality (in its entirety). The most useful edition yet of this unique anthology.
