Susan Collins is a political theorist holding a joint appointment at the University of Houston in political science and the Honors College.

Introduction
| |||
This volume makes available for the first time in truly accurate translations what is perhaps the greatest debate in classical political theory. The translations are models of meticulous fidelity combined with readability, and are far and away the best that have ever been made of these two gems of classical political philosophy. -- Thomas L. Pangle, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto
