Justice And Good Governance:the Research On The Political Philosophy Of Aristotle

Aristotle’s political philosophy reached the pinnacle of the classical political philosophy. The founder of the classical political philosophy is Socrates. Before modern political philosophy has produced in the16th and17th centuries, the classical political philosophy has been living in a dominant position. If the stars shine in the history of development of classical political philosophy, Aristotle was undoubtedly the most dazzling one. Aristotle lived in the historical period of ancient Greek democracy by the gloom and doom, which makes him feel profoundly democratic and non-democratic interest. As a socially responsible thinkers, Aristotle construct his own political philosophy of realism, on the basis of summary and inheritance of predecessors (especially Plato), by analyzing more than one hundred city-state class rule of Greece.Aristotle’s political philosophy is rich and profound in content, which can be interpreted and learnt from a different perspective and this is the enduring charm of his political philosophy. Overgrowth theory appearance aside, we found Aristotle’s political philosophy really concerns only two points-the "justice" and "good governance", which extends from the direction of both internal and external, which collectively constitute All of Aristotle’s political philosophy.Justice is the intrinsic the pursuit of value of Aristotle’s political philosophy. Before Aristotle, the ancient Greek ideological fertile ground has been covered with "the flower of justice". Aristotle learn and absorb the achievements of their predecessors——creatively enrich and develop it——so achieve the height of the new political justice.Good governance is the appearance of practical wisdom of Aristotle’s political philosophy and it is also the external extension of justice thought as well as its purpose. Aristotle’s political philosophy is different from his teacher Plato in that his political philosophy contains extremely profound reality. His idea of justice is not for the theory itself, but to the practice of the city-state political life. In this paper, the breakthrough is the "justice" and "good governance" with which we try to grasp the ideological core of the political philosophy of Aristotle. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the article is divided into four sections:The first part is "Justice:The intrinsic pursuit of value of Aristotle’s political philosophy". This part of the discussion focuses on two levels:first, justice thought of ancient Greek society before Aristotle is just the cradle of Aristotle’s justice thought. It is the fertile land that makes Aristotle’s justice thought; then we focus on Aristotle’s concept of justice, which in turn contains the ethical basis and specific theory of justice.The second part is "Good governance:the practical wisdom show of Aristotle’s political philosophy". This section mainly includes two aspects:one is Aristotle’s practical wisdom mind and the other is the appearance of good governance which is as the manifestation of practical wisdom in Aristotle’s political philosophy.The third part, excellent forms of political life:the perfect unity of justice and good governance."Excellent political way of life" embodies the essence of classical political life and it is the ultimate aspiration of Aristotle’s political philosophy. This is mainly reflected in the political philosophy of Aristotle of mean, order, citizens and city-state relations theory part.The fourth part is "the impact of Aristotle’s political philosophy on future generations". Aristotle’s political philosophy has an extensive and far-reaching impact on future generations. To this day, we still strive constantly to absorb nutrients from such a genius philosopher, so we should perpetuate a heart to respect.
