Description

“Middle class,” “economy,” “family as a unit of the state,” “politics,” “constitution,” “civic duty”—we pronounce these words and expressions without even knowing that we owe their very existence to Aristotle, the brilliant thinker who first introduced them in his work “Politics,” where he also invented social and political philosophy, for the first time in history singling out the study of social relations as an independent science. “Man is, by nature, a political being,” Aristotle said. But what kind of political system did he consider fair? On which social layers did he propose relying in order to organize life in the state in the best way? And what did he see as the guarantee of proper and rational state governance?
