The definition of the citizen in Book III of Aristotle’s Politics
Type de matériel :
63
Aristotle’s Politics is written in an exoteric style, but with a strong theoretical basis. His definition of citizenship is a functional one, and is based on the idea of the ergon that qualifies the citizen as such. This definition is not an endoxon, but a true and basic principle of his politikê philosophia. From this definition, Aristotle derives some of the main points of his political theory, such as the criterion of citizenship and the distinction between good and bad constitutions.
