Aristotles Philosophy
Aristotles Philosophy on governance has always been considered as
one of the most influential literary pieces in the history of political
philosophy. His studies were primarily determination of truth by active
practical observations and analysis of the relationships between family
members, primitive groups, villages, and the various communities that form
the State. Aristotles Philosophies laid down the central ideas of Educational
theory and Moral Virtues that aspire citizens to create a richer and fuller life.
Further, His ideas on governance present the how and what of
cooperative relationships between the rulers and ruled and postulated what
makes good government and what makes bad government. He then afforded
emphasis on the moral virtues of a good man to possess the best possible
qualities that would serve the best interests of all.
As regards to the establishment of social relations among members of
the communities, Aristotle asserted that all individuals actually aspire for the
highest good. However, differing virtues and rationalities of individuals could
lead to-- factions, social conflicts and even injustices. In governance, he
argued that every man has his unique method and competence in dealing
with the political, economic and social challenges.
evident in the constitution that there are some unjust treatment in the
aspect of legal terms. The rulers make the law but they are the ones who
broke it which can be proven by the politicians who are guilty of corruption.
The Corruption and Poverty intermingled with those difficulties are mirrored
in the root of its factuality.
To reform a constitution is no less a task [of politics] than it is to
establish one from the beginning, and in this way the politician should also
help existing constitutions
The constitution is needed to be preceded even though the regime has
changed. It doesnt mean that if the replaced Politian is not in your party, the
constitution will be changed and not to be supported. It is a duty to do aim
the good for the good of everyone. The best constitution still serves as a
regulative ideal by which to evaluate existing systems.
