SPT II: ARISTOTLE 384 BC – 322 BC

Aristotle and the State (Polis) Every state is a community of some kind, and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at a good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good. The Politics, Bk 1

Man as Political Animal Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal (zoon politikon). The Politics, Bk 1

Human Nature, the State, Justice Happiness (eudaimonia) Virtue (arete) Practical wisdom (phronesis) The golden mean (The Nicomachean Ethics)
