Hello. You did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to execute an answer exactly. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Aristoteles refers to everything that is political as something that was responsible for promoting the general and collective good. For this reason, it is likely that the text to which your question refers, exposes this type of meaning, since it was an intrinsic thought of Aristoteles.
He used this word in his writings to expound his thoughts on how society should be managed and how communities should be structured and maintained by its members.
