Unlike most philosophers, Aristotle’s political experience is undeniable as he was tutor of Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia’s.
‘Politics’, his work on political philosophy is a major result of these experiences which sit the legitimacy of this book.
Policy aims to define political science and its object via a description of the nature of political regimes. The approach of Aristotle differs from Plato, who prefers to build an ideal political system and theoretical, while Aristotle prefers a realistic and descriptive, which prefigures sociological approaches or phenomenological twentieth century.
‘Politics’ is a work of political science. It is described as being more like a work of monographs rather than one book. In it Aristotle reviews a variety of forms of political systems that were active in the world as he knew it in his era and location. Due to the Greek political scene, Aristotle has in common with contemporary American readers a direct experience with a form of democracy.
The book covers numerous aspects of politics, including what types of changes occur at different levels of societal organisation. He opens with the observation that it is vital readers recognise there are very significant changes that go along with the levels of organisation of a society. Since Aristotle is so thorough, by the end of the book a reader should have a very healthy grasp of multiple forms of functional governments, albeit from a particular perspective.
