Political Naturalism

This article is a review of Aristotle's theory on the city-state and politics. One of his main ideas that Miler points out is that Aristotle believed human beings to be so weak in fact that they could not survive alone, but in pairs. Because man and woman came together solely for the purpose of reproduction, the idea of a "household" arose. As more households emerge in clusters, villages are formed and then there is a community. Because humans are not self-sufficient but are extremely political, they live as a whole. This is a major argument of Aristotle in his writings concerning his view on the principal State of Nature.
