Politics by Aristotle (Greek: Πολιτικ?, Politiká) is a work of political philosophy by Aristotle, a 4th-century BC Greek philosopher.
The end of the Nicomachean Ethics declared that the inquiry into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise—or perhaps connected lectures—dealing with the "philosophy of human affairs".
The title of Politics literally means "the things concerning the π?λις : polis", and is the origin of the modern English word politics.
In the first book, Aristotle discusses the city (π?λις : polis) or "political community" (κοινων?α πολιτικ? : koin?nía politik?) as opposed to other types of communities and partnerships such as the household (ο?κος : oikos) and village.
The highest form of community is the polis. Aristotle comes to this conclusion because he believes the public life is far more virtuous than the private and because men are "political animals". He begins with the relationship between the city and man (I. 1–2), and then specifically discusses the household (ο?κος : oikos) (I. 3–13).
He takes issue with the view that political rule, kingly rule, rule over slaves and rule over a household or village are only different in size. He then examines in what way the city may be said to be natural.
