What Aristotle Really Thought About Human Nature? | Aristotle's Politics

from Philosophy Everyday · host Masud Gaziyev

What is the source of all conflicts? Aristotle thought that the answer had something to do with human nature itself. In this episode, I talk about Book V of Aristotle's Politics, where Aristotle finally stops describing systems and now also starts dissecting their psychology. He explores how ambition, resentment, and pride drive people toward conflict, and why the rich and poor never agree on what “justice” means.Source of discussion in the video: Aristotle’s Politics, Book V, Chapters 1–6.
