Aristotle believes that a democracy is a corrupt form of government because it is built upon the belief of majority rule. I then reflect on whether Aristotle would have arrived at similar conclusions about these practices if he had been acquainted with the basic principles of microeconomics. Since his argument ultimately rests on his theory of moral virtue, I set forth the basic principles of Aristotle’s theory of virtue and consider how he applies them to common commercial practices. In this essay I examine and evaluate Aristotle’s indictment of commercial democracy. ![]() Consequently, the democracies in which the mercantile class is prominent are especially unjust, corrupt, and unstable. Aristotle holds that a state is a composite whole made up of parts he also defines the state as an aggregate of citizens large enough to secure a self-sufficient life a further definition suggests that the state is an association of citizens in a constitution (III, i-iii).

Commentators, such as the Vox correspondent Jamil Smith, lauded the Project-which consisted of eleven essays, nine poems, eight works of short fiction, and dozens of photographs, all documenting the long-fingered reach of American slavery-as an unprecedented journalistic feat. New Yorkers not in the habit of seeking out their Sunday Times ventured to bodegas to nab a hard copy. Seldom these days does a paper edition have such blockbuster draw. The name of this endeavor was introduced at the very bottom of the page, in print small enough to overlook: “The 1619 Project.” The titular year encapsulated a dramatic claim: that it was the arrival of what would become slavery in the colonies, and not the independence declared in 1776, that marked “the country’s true birth date,” as the issue’s editors wrote. ![]() ![]() America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began.

Aristotle's concept of entelechy retains influence on recent concepts of biological " entelechy". These were words first used in modern physics by the German scientist and philosopher, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. However the terminology has also been adapted to new uses, as is most obvious in words like energy and dynamic. In modern times the dichotomy has gradually lost importance, as understandings of nature and deity have changed. These concepts, in modified forms, remained very important into the Middle Ages, influencing the development of medieval theology in several ways. Īctuality, in contrast to potentiality, is the motion, change or activity that represents an exercise or fulfillment of a possibility, when a possibility becomes real in the fullest sense. Aristotle did not consider all possibilities the same, and emphasized the importance of those that become real of their own accord when conditions are right and nothing stops them. ![]() The concept of potentiality, in this context, generally refers to any "possibility" that a thing can be said to have. In philosophy, potentiality and actuality are a pair of closely connected principles which Aristotle used to analyze motion, causality, ethics, and physiology in his Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, and De Anima.
