Assignment for Thursday, 9/13

For next time, read the following:

• Chapter One in Shively, "Politics: Setting the Stage." Some of this chapter will reinforce topics we talked about on September 6, but much of the chapter concerns the concept of power, which we will discuss next time. Please remember that if you have trouble getting the textbook, it is on reserve in the library.
  

• The following sections from Aristotle's Politics:
  
• Book 3, chapters 6 & 7
• Book 4, chapters 8 & 11

The Aristotle text is available from a number of online sources. A hypertext version is available here; you can use this to print out the appropriate chapters. A PDF copy of the entire text is available here. Finally, a number of formats are available here (click on "The Politics vol 1" to access them). FYI, all sources provide the Jowett translation.
