Policy. Aristotle

The great ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle stands at the origins of modern science. The teacher of Alexander the Great, the creator of the first systematic treatises, Aristotle laid the foundation of such disciplines as logic, metaphysics, ethics, physics and others. The treatise “Politics” is one of the most important works of the philosopher in which he considers the main forms of government and purpose of the state, defining the latter as “communication organized for the sake of the common good”. With his inherent clarity of style, Aristotle criticizes various political regimes, considers the problems of the institution of the family, the existence of slaves and the education of youth, reflects on the importance of religion and draws an ideal society, "giving people a complete opportunity to live according to their aspirations."
