POLITICS

Biographical data

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher born in 384 BC. c. and died in 322 a. c. He was a disciple of Plato. Philip of Macedonia entrusted him with the education of his son Alexander the Great. At the conclusion of this commission, with the accession to the throne of Alexander, he returned to Athens where he opened a school of philosophy. He was the first to make a classification of the sciences and he is considered the creator of metaphysics and logic with the invention of the syllogism.

BOOK 1

CHAPTER 1

ANY CITY IS A COMMUNITY, AND EVERY COMMUNITY IS CONSTITUTED WITH A LOOK AT SOME GOOD. THE CITY OR CIVIC COMMUNITY IS THE ONE THAT TENDS TO THE SUPERIOR GOOD. IT IS FALSE THAT IT IS THE SAME TO GOVERN A FEW, FOR EXAMPLE THE FAMILY FATHER, THAN GOVERNING A CITY, WHICH IS THE TASK OF THE POLITICIAN, WHICH IS PARTLY GOVERNED AND PARTLY RULING.

EPISODE 2

He who is capable of foresight with his intelligence is a ruler by nature and a natural boss. On the other hand, he who is capable of doing things with his body is a subject and a slave, also by nature. Therefore, master and slave have a common convenience. Among barbarians, slaves and women occupy the same place as free men, which means that they do not have governments. The family is the community constituted by nature. The city is the community from several villages, and it is perfect because it is self-sufficient, and it does not exist only to live, but to live well. EVERY CITY EXISTS BY NATURE (City means Marital Status).

MAN IS BY NATURE A CIVIC ANIMAL. The enemy of citizen society is an inferior being or someone other than human, but never a man. The reason that man is a social being is due to the WORD, which is more than the voice, because it serves to manifest the convenient and harmful, the just and the unjust, the good and the bad. MAN'S OPINION ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD IS CENTRAL FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THE CITY. THIS IS BEFORE THE HOUSE AND EACH OF US, since the whole is necessarily before the part, because if the whole is destroyed (for example, the body), the loose parts (for example, the hands) no longer make sense. or feet). All things are defined by their activity and functional capacity, so that when they cease to exist, it cannot be said that they are the same things. If each individual, separately, is not self-sufficient, he will find himself, like the other parts, depending on his whole. In other words, man always needs to live in society. Otherwise he is a beast or a God. In all there is the IMPULSE TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY. Man is the best of animals, but apart from law and justice, he is the worst. The virtue of justice consists in the appreciation of what is just.

BOOK 2

Chapter I

The author argues that every city is a community, and as such, aims for some good. THE ONE THAT INTENDS THE SUPERIOR GOOD, being superior to the others and understanding them, is what the author calls CITY OR CIVIC COMMUNITY.

Every community is governed by someone with command power, be it a city, a kingdom or a family. But the government of these types of communities is not the same. To demonstrate this, the author is going to analyze the city starting with its minimal component parts.

Chapter II

In the first place, the author points out the need to establish founding couples of any community, of elements that cannot subsist one without the other. The female and the male, in the first place, with routes to reproduction. The MASTER-SLAVE RELATIONSHIP, which exists BY NATURE, since in it there is always what is dominated and what is dominant. THE DOMINANT, THE MASTERS, ARE BY THEIR INTELLIGENCE of him, WHILE THOSE WHO CAN ONLY WORK ARE SUBJECTS OR
