Question

Without law, did Aristotle believe hunian beings do?

Answer 1

Answer: First he says individual human beings were combined in pairs because they could not exist apart

Explanation:The male and the female joined in order to reproduce and the master and slave came together for self-presrrvation. The natural master used his intellect to rule, and the natural slave employed his body to labor. Aristotle defends three claims about nature and the city state. Firstly he says the city state exists by nature, because it comes to be out of the more primitive natural associations and it serves at the end, because it alone attains self-sufficeny. Second, human beings are by nature political animals, because nature, which does nothing in vain, has equipped them with speech, which enables them to communicate moral concepts such as justice. Therefore, everyone naturally has the impulse for such a political community but the person who first established it is the cause of very great benefits.
