Answer 1

For what purpose does the polis exist according to Aristotle?

The answer according to Aristotle is that human beings need certain material conditions that depend on the division of labor and no individual is self-sufficient. Thus, all forms of human association are natural as long as they meet the material needs. The household is natural, so is the village, so is the polis.
