C D C Reeve is Professor of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
. . . this is an accurate translation which is well-presented and
written in reasonably natural English. It makes a valuable
contribution to our understanding of the Politics. . . . of the
complete translations I have seen, I would regard this one as first
choice for Greekless students at the postgraduate and more advanced
undergraduate levels. For these students accuracy is of prime
importance, and they should be able to make good use of the
introduction and other supporting material that Reeve offers. I
would also recommend this version to anyone lacking Greek who wants
to do serious scholarly work on the Politics. --R. F. Stalley, in
Polis
This is an admirable translation, meticulous in its attention to
Aristotle's Greek and judicious in its phrasing and choice of
terms. It should prove invaluable to beginning students and
scholars alike. --Richard Kraut, Northwestern University
The beautifully crafted English of Reeve's translation is as crisp
and lucid as Aristotle's Greek. One is constantly impressed with
Reeve's instinct for the right word in rendering the rich
vocabulary of Aristotle's thoughts about politics and for his
ability to capture the subtleties of Aristotelian syntax. Highly
recommended. --David Keyt, University of Washington
