Private Property and the Rule of the Middle Class in Aristotle’s Politics

Aristotle's political private property and middle class rule In his argument about the constitution and city in politics Aristotle is very clear that his top priority is to provide people with the pursuit and realization of beauty I made it. Opportunity to live. The essential part of this is the stability of the Constitution. Aristotle has clearly pointed out that the power of the kingdom is the best control system for every generation, but the lack of stability from one generation to the next is impossible to become the best in reality I will.

Aristotle made a big contribution to economic thinking, especially medieval thought. In political science, Aristotle talks about cities, property and trade. In Lionel Robbins' view, his response to private property criticism was related to the overall usefulness of social arrangements, suggesting philosopher and economist support for private property. Aristotle believes that community arrangements seem to be good for society, but private property is often blamed for social conflict, but I believe that this evil actually comes from human nature. In "Political" magazine, Aristotle provided one of the first reports on the origins of money. People depend on each other, import what you need and export surplus so money starts to be used. For convenience, people then agree to deal essentially with useful and applicable items like iron and silver.

One of the most prominent features of the ideal city is the abolition of private ownership and strict limitation of private property by the two guardian classes. Commencing in Aristotle (Politics II 1-5), communism in the ideal city of the Republic is the target of confusion and criticism (see Nussbaum 1980, Stalley 1991, Mayhew 1997). On the one hand, Aristotle (politics 1264a 11-22) and others are uncertain about the range of communism in the ideal city. On the other hand, they believe that no degree of communism has places in the ideal political community.
