The Function of Aristotle's "Good Man" and "Good Citizen" in his Ideal Polis.
This paper will approach Aristotle's "good man" in terms of both Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics and his Politics. It will be argued that the "good man's" relationship with the ideal polis can only be understood in terms of the ethical and political distinction Aristotle draws between the "good man" and the "good citizen". While in the ideal polis the two are identical, in the real world they are separate more often than not. From this perspective, the "good man" may be seen to vindicate the ideal polis in that the perfection of the state is dependent upon all its component units being good. 11 pgs. 20 f/c. 6b.
