ARISTOTLE POSTULATES OF A SOCIAL SYSTEM AS A MODEL FOR A MODERN STATE ORGANISATION

Abstract

Modern liberalism in the world, as a social framework of living and acting, is, at a great extent, characterised by political stagnation and intellectual decadence. On the other side, a dramatic increase of interest in Aristotle`s opus seems to reflect both cultural and political changes, or purely intellectual changes, happened during the last two decades. Because ot its understatement and practical inefficacy at certain issues, a participatory democracy, as an answer to the attitudes of the New Right, has largely lost its power of having an influence on the organisation of the modern society. That is why the models of the state organisation are more and more found in the ideas of the ancient philosophers and in the classical models of social solidarity. Nowadays, because of the previously mentioned reasons, there are once more opened the issues of the organisation of society and state, politics, sustainability of a political system, citizen political participation, the role of the middle class and education, to which a certain attention will be paid in this paper work through the prism of Aristotle`s postulates.
