Abstract
Some of the difficulties of the Politics arise from acknowledged defects in the text — lacunae, abrupt transitions, obscure or faulty internal references, and so forth — and from Aristotle’s sometimes ‘annoyingly inconsequential’ style of writing, his awkward manner of developing a program of inquiry.1 About these sources of difficulty there is little that can be done. We have inherited this text and the peculiar habits of this writer.
