Focusing on the ancient Greek city-state, this comprehensive history examines the polis as a resilient institution founded on citizenship, freedom, and equality. Spanning from 650 BCE to 350 CE, it details the evolution and diverse forms of the polis across regions, highlighting its role in fostering community and social justice while also addressing the darker aspects of domination and enslavement. John Ma's extensive research and new interpretations of Aristotle enrich the narrative, prompting reflection on the moral complexities of this influential political model.
