Politics #942678

The city-state is examined as the highest form of community, aimed at achieving the common good and enabling citizens to live virtuously. Aristotle compares various constitutions and forms of government, classifying them based on whether they serve the public interest or the rulers' selfish desires. He discusses the role of the citizen, the nature of justice, and the importance of education in maintaining the stability of the state. This political treatise argues that man is by nature a political animal, destined to live in a structured society.
