Abstract

In this article I intend to show the inextricable relation existing between ethics and politics which political science presents in Aristotle's thought, but I also try to show the paths of correlation, and to highlight the elevated concept taught by the philosopher about this epistéme politiké, which allows a reconsideration and reevaluation concerning the exercise of this same contemporary politiké. This takes place in the broader frame of a research about the political thought of the philosopher and the political philosophy of the Hellenic world. Five orientating themes organize this article.
