Aristotle’s Social and Political Philosophy-2-1 - University of Arizona

First, in Politics 1, Aristotle claims that the institutions ruled by the non-political kinds of rule (household, village) are parts of the polis (1.2.1252a24 - 1.3.1253b3) Now when Aristotle says that the household is ‘part of’ the polis, he is saying something much more substantive than that households are found in poleis. ................
