Question

What does human nature tell us about the life of political engagement and the contemplative life of philosophical investigation in Aristotle's politics?

Answer 1

according to Aristotle, human nature leads one to seek the good , a good life, and this is accomplished by forming relationships which then lead to a society, which leads to the need for politics,
he felt natural laws were at work, that a man was responsible and ruled over his wife and children, and his slaves, the slave was meant to be a slave, the wife and children were not slaves because the man would be looking out for their own interest, not just his own. with the slave, the man would only consider the man.
i suppose the two ways of life were being the ruler, or being ruled
of course, if Aristotle had not been a man, or if he had been a slave, perhaps he would not of considered some of these things human nature nor natural laws
