Aristotle Politics Concept Map Overview
Aristotle's Politics is a treatise on the polis, the city-state he saw as the highest community. It asks what a good community is, how citizens should share power, and which constitution is best. A concept map of the work usually divides it into the origins of the polis, the forms of government, and the ideal state.
- The polis: the city-state as the natural community that completes human life.
- Household management: the family, slavery and the economy as the base of the polis.
- Forms of government: kingship, aristocracy and polity, with their corrupt forms.
- Citizenship: who counts as a citizen and what roles citizens take part in.
- The best regime: Aristotle's view of the ideal state and the education it needs.
