Answer:
Here is your answer
Explanation:
“Our own observation tells us that every polis is a community (or association) of persons formed with a view to some good purpose. I say ‘good’ because in their actions all men do in fact aim at what they think good.
Clearly then all communities aim at some good, that one which is the supreme and embraces all others will have also as its aim the supreme good. That is the community which we call polis (or State) and that type of community we call political.”
Let us now see what the definition wants to emphasize. According to Aristotle, the state is a community of persons. Every community has certain purpose and that purpose is good. As a community the state has a purpose, and that purpose is also good.
But the state is not an ordinary community. It is the highest of all communities and naturally its purpose shall be the highest or supreme. It is thus evident that like all associations the state is an association. But its purpose is different from that of other associations. Again, it is not an ordinary association. It enjoys the highest rank or position in the society or social structure.
