23915 | The main function of politics is to produce friendship [Aristotle] |
Full Idea: It seems to be most of all the function of politics to produce friendship. | |
From: Aristotle (Eudemian Ethics [c.333 BCE], 1245b22) | |
A reaction: Lovely! Most people would probably cite wealth and security as the main aims. This function seems to require quite a high degree of equality, though Aristotle doesn't think it essential. |
