Aristotle’s Ethics describes the means to the happy life of virtue intended by nature. In Politics he describes the vital role the political community plays in fostering the well-being of its citizens. In doing so he surveys the types of communities and governments that existed and how many fall short of the ideal, which is a constitutional form. While many of his precepts and goals may seem unusual and outdated today, there is much that stands the test of time, in particular his belief in the need for active participation in politics, in the relationship of the well-being of the people to that of the community, and his analysis of factors that bring about stability and revolution. Many of the issues raised, notably the importance of the middle class and the role of wealth in a democracy, are as relevant today as they were then.
