The political legacy of Plato and Aristotle is one of the greatest intellectual legacies left by an ancient civilisation for posterity. The problems of politics and political science are incomprehensible without some Platonic and Aristotelian background. Modern political philosophy is nothing but a commentary on the political ideas of Plato and Aristotle. Without a Platonic and Aristotelian background, even the first letter of politics cannot be understood. For, very little, if at all, has been said that is new after Plato and Aristotle in the history of political thought. This book deals with the political ideas of Plato and Aristotle from a near and most modern angle. The chapters have been selected methodically so that a comparative study of the two philosophers becomes easy for students. The occasional comparison of the philosophers’ ideas with that of Marx, Laski, Nehru, and with ancient Indian concepts is certainly interesting.

The crucial importance of the workforce in the achievement of organizational or national objectives is evident from the see-saw effect discernible in court judgements, which had ripple effects on labour management relations. Today, crucial changes in India's demographic profile and daunting challenges thrown up by globalization have highlighted the need for a new business and industrial milieu in keeping with the times. It is imperative to make every effort to obviate or defuse labour problems, something that can only happen if we are aware of the major points of friction and solutions for their amelioration.This is where this book scores, zooming in on the panorama of labour adjudication and focusing sharply on landmark cases, while lucidly explaining the underlying issues and the rationale behind the apex and lower courts' decisions. By clearly showing how to avoid the path of confrontation and which quicksands are particularly lethal, it will be an invaluable reference for students of labour law, bureaucrats, practicing managers as well as union leaders.
