A CRITICAL PRESENTATION OF ARISTOTLE'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

Aristotle is a great philosopher of the ancient period in Western Philosophy. His works and contributions to philosophy, education and civilization, span through all fields of learning. His relevance in his age and subsequent years has not waned, even in our own generation. The thrust of our present work is to examine his contributions, particularly in the areas of sociopolitical philosophizing. In so doing, we shall be scooping materials from his works, analyzing them vis-à-vis other scholars contributions and critically augmenting the areas we feel need fine and proper approaches. It is hoped this would beef up literature in the field and assist budding scholars in understanding this sagacious sage of antiquity.
