Aristotle’s Politics is a foundational text in Western political philosophy that offers a systematic examination of the nature, purpose, and organization of the polis, or city-state. Written in the 4th century BCE, the work explores the relationship between ethics and politics, arguing that the highest aim of human life is eudaimonia—flourishing or well-being—which is best achieved within a just political community. Aristotle classifies different forms of government—monarchy, aristocracy, and polity—as well as their corrupt counterparts, and analyzes the conditions under which each can succeed or degenerate. Emphasizing the role of reason, citizenship, and the middle class in promoting stability and justice, The Politics remains a crucial text for understanding classical theories of governance, civic virtue, and the role of law in shaping moral character.
