Abstract

In this paper the categories of ergón and areté will be analyzed as fundamental pieces in order to understand the aristotelian political philosophy. The justification of such an exercise is the centrality that both concepts possess when thinking about the happiness, last purpose (telos) of men’s life. Thereby, the different virtues will be examined, as well as the most philosophical and political edges of the Stagirite’s thought, as a way to comprehend the ideas that he sustained about the good behaviour, the straight behaviour and the human reason. This way, the object of this work is to be able to articulate two aspects that constitute the logos: its participation within the human nature and its dynamic aptitude to canalize and solve the conflicts that found the commom life in the polis.
