More than 25 centuries ago, the Greek philosopher Aristotle, told his disciples: “the man is a ZOON POLITIKON”, which literary means “the man is a political animal”, and animal that needs to live in society because he should be more or less than a human being, a God or a wild animal, to be enough for himself.

The society was born from the human nature, the man can’t reach the perfection isolated. So men group themselves in communities like families, neighborhoods or any other kind of social organization similar to the Greek Polis.

To remember Aristotle in this technology age, could be anachronistic, but with just take a look to the news, the journal or our daily relationships make it more present than ever.

Aristotle considers the man as a civic, social and political animal at the same time that he remembers that we can reach the happiness and just justice only in social relationship. The virtue for excellence is the justice because human beings live to the full only inside a society. As a political animal, the man’s good can be find in social relationships. It is in the city where the man perfects his virtues and wisdom.

The city needs the man and he needs the city. The stranger to the costumes of cities is just and irrational and unsocial.
