Abstract

It was thanks to Ibn Rushd and Liber Nichomachie that Western readers who read and wrote in Latin had the opportunity to come into contact for the first time with Plato's pessimistic ideas about the succession of political regime changes.

İbn Rüşd ve Liber Nichomachie sayesindedir ki, Latince okuyup yazan Batılı okur, siyasi rejim değişikliklerinin teselsülü hakkında Platon'un kötümser fikirleriyle ilk kez temas etme fırsatı bulmuştur.
