Aristotle theorizes that the city naturally comes into being as a result of physical necessity. Yet, he still looks to human nature to recognize the deeper purpose of the city. I believe Aristotle thinks man is naturally social. Aristotle believed that man can only really live well in the city, because the city for his physical needs, allows him to exercise his sociability, which provides a forum for the debate about justice. In my opinion, Aristotle is right and wrong. Man can live in the city regardless of his physical needs, which allow him to exercise his sociability. On the other hand, everyone needs someone to help grant them a start in life. In order to have that start, you must be able to talk and engage in activities with others (show sociability).

Aristotle also criticizes Phaleas which is based on basic reflections about the nature of the human soul. Phaleas believed that equalizing property would remove the root cause of conflict among citizens. Aristotle believes people are driven to conflict not only as a result of property disputes but also striving for honor. I agree with Phaleas and Aristotle on this particular subject. I believe, though, property disputes are the least of citizen conflicts. Aristotle believes that the highest life for a human being is the philosophical life. He believes that one must look at man’s highest function, which is the ability to reason. Reason leads one to property, govern one’s appetites and desires which allows one to contemplate the good.

After reading the Politics, I realized that there were views I agreed and disagreed with. I learned that it is all right to agree to disagree with someone’s views.Whether one agrees with Aristotle’s political philosophy or not, a knowledge of its underlying principles is essential for a clear understanding of nature of all future political philosophy. Without Aristotle’s ideas, modern philosophers could not fully understand or appreciate knowledge of ideas they might try to argue. Aristotle provided a new bases and justification for politics. Aristotle’s works and ideas will exist beyond our years.
