Mission Statement

Aristotle's Politics (Book 1, Chapter 1) is clear that "man is a political animal in a greater measure than any bee or any gregarious animal. For nature does nothing without purpose, and man alone of the animals possesses speech."

I hope global readers, accepting Aristotle's definition of a political animal, will find this quick scan both provocative and mindful.
