Abstract


The category of politics is today a confusing category, under whose field can fit many different meanings. Purpose of this work is to help its delimitation on the basis of the attempt made by Aristotle. We will see that its perimeter is bounded by features such as freedom, equality, participation, deliberation, non-instrumentality, justice, common god, plurality and virtue.
