Aristotle believed that knowledge could be obtained through interacting with physical objects. He concluded that objects were made up of a potential that circumstances then manipulated to determine the object’s outcome.]]> 2019-09-29 22:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391095093 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391096443 _{Aristotle frequently compares the politician to a craftsman. The analogy is imprecise because politics, in the strict sense of legislative science, is a form of practical knowledge, while a craft like architecture or medicine is a form of productive knowledge.} ]]> 2019-09-29 23:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391096443 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391096617 Aristotle defines the constitution (politeia) as a way of organizing the offices of the city-state, particularly the sovereign office . The constitution thus defines the governing body, which takes different forms: for example, in a democracy it is the people, and in an oligarchy it is a select few (the wealthy or well born). Before attempting to distinguish and evaluate various constitutions Aristotle considers two questions. First, why does a city-state come into being? Second, He then adds that “the common advantage also brings them together insofar as they each attain the noble life. ]]> 2019-09-29 23:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391096617 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097102 Regarding the constitution that is ideal or “according to prayer,” Aristotle criticizes the views of his predecessors in Politics and then offers a rather sketchy blueprint of his own in Politics VII and VIII. Although his own political views were influenced by his teacher Plato, Aristotle is highly critical of the ideal constitution set forth in Plato's Republic on the grounds that it overvalues political unity, it embraces a system of communism that is impractical and inimical to human nature, and it neglects the happiness of the individual citizens.]]> 2019-09-29 23:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097102 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097543 2019-09-29 23:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097543 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097853 2019-09-29 23:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097853 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097882 2019-09-29 23:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097882 1393361 https://padlet.com/1393361/g8u9qlog8ao2/wish/391097970 The earliest influence on the U.S. Constitution was written by Aristotle, the Greek philosopher taught by Plato, who in turn tutored Alexander the Great. ... The "right" type of constitution was based on the common good, whether the government was headed by a king, an aristocracy, or by a community.
