Abstract

Aristotle raises the general question of the just political order by addressing the most common and enduring of political disputes: that is the same as the division of ruling offices. For this, he examines the various political regimes and expresses the objections of those regimes in this regard. The maintenance and provision of the elements of existence and the organization of regime should be the criteria. He also states that the criterion for measuring the rightness and wrongness of these regimes is to provide as much "common advantage" as possible. In his view, the most important feature of the justice of ruler is to offer as much "common advantage" as possible. That is, regime that seek the benefit of rulers are wrong and unjust regime, and that seek the benefit of people are right and just, and then with this feature describe the best political regime and give it The power of the political system. He knows that individuals alternate between ruling and obedience, because that is the only way to attain complete virtue (justice). But in the end he proposes a mixed arrangement in which the best hold the ruling offices while the multitude share in deliberation and judging.
