Politics

Beschreibung

Similar to Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle explores another facet of good living by outlining the best governing practices that benefit the majority, and not the minority. In The Politics, he defines various institutions and how they should operate within an established system. The Politics provides an analysis of contemporary government as it relates to all people. Aristotle discusses the positive and negative qualities of authority and how they affect civilian life. In eight books, he details the tenets of the political community, including justice, the economy and household management. He recounts the actions of previous administrations, highlighting the differences between a democracy and oligarchy. He also examines the purpose of constitutions and how they can better serve the state. By studying the past, politicians can navigate and overcome challenges that toppled previous regimes. The Politics contains a strategic framework that can be used in a modern-day context. It offers a comprehensive look at the people and processes expected to maintain law, order and prosperity.

Autor

Aristotle (384 - 322 bce) Born in Stagira, in Greece, in 384 bce, Aristotle was a Classical Greek philosopher who wrote on multiple subjects, including and not limited to psychology, politics, ethics, economics, biology, music, theatre, government, and logic. Once in a hierarchy of famous philosophers, he was Plato's student, who was in turn a student of Socrates. Aristotle turned out to be one of the finest scholars of his time and his thoughts and treatises have had a profound effect on scholars ever since. His influence led him to be enlisted by the then king of Macedonia, Philip II, to tutor his son, Alexander, who would go on to become one of the greatest kings and conquerors of all time. Although not all of Aristotle's philosophies and doctrines have survived criticism down the centuries, it must be said that he was a trailblazer in his own right. A polymath who could hold a conversation or debate on any topic, Aristotle's influence is such that his ways of thinking are still implemented in one form or the other to this day. He has been depicted in multiple artworks across the millennia, and is without a doubt one of the cornerstones of philosophy as a discipline.
