Today we are reading and going over chapter 5 of Book V of Aristotle's Politics. For our reading for this series of Reading Aristotle's Politics, we are using (on screen) the second edition of Carnes Lord translation of the Politics, which available via. Google Books. Here is the cite to the edition that we are using on screen: Carnes Lord Aristotle's" Politics". Second Edition. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013). https://www.amazon.com/Aristotles-Politics-Second-Aristotle/dp/0226921840/ref=sr_1_4?crid=25XFZ8A02MVY3&keywords=carnes+lord+aristotle&qid=1667592668&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=carnes+lord+aristotl%2Caps%2C576&sr=8-4 While I will use Carnes Lord's translation, I will often change and deviate with some of his translation choices. There are other translations (such as Peter Simpson (Univ of North Carolina) or Joe Sachs (Focus), or the 2nd edition of C D C Reeve (Hackett))--but I have opted to use Lord's because it is most like the Greek there is.
