Research about the structure of Aristotle's Political Philosophy

关于这个研究项目，我写了以下4篇文章，我在参考文献中详细列出了。《亚里士多德的奴隶制》、《亚里士多德《政治学》中的公民与宪法概念》、《当代政治哲学的基本观点》、《亚里士多德《政治学》中的中期宪法》。在第一篇文章中，我指出了亚里士多德关于奴隶概念的不连贯之处。也就是说，他把奴隶定义为一种缺乏理性的活的工具，而他又不能不承认奴隶在定义上是一个理性的人。这一点可以成为一个哲学基础，它能够摧毁奴隶制，建立全人类的平等。在第二篇文章中，我澄清了亚里士多德《政治学》中公民和宪法的概念。也就是说，他将公民定义为能够进行政治活动的人。这一定义可以推翻传统的基于种族、性别、社会阶层、族谱的公民概念，从而成为民主的基础。在第三篇文章中，我认识到多元文化条件是当代世界不可逆转的前提，必须成为政治哲学的基础。也就是说，它必须寻求一种能够让不同文化和宗教共存的正义概念。这个概念就是自由和平等的概念。在第四篇文章中，我阐明了民主的理念与亚里士多德的黄金中庸之道有着密切的联系。也就是说，最好的宪法是大多数人都是美德和财富上的中产阶级。稳定来自中间派，这正是民主的卓越之处。这些是三年研究的结果。

Concerning to this research project, I wrote, as I have listed in References in detail, the following 4 articles. 'Slavery in Aristotle', 'Concept of Citizen and Constitution in Aristotle's "Politics"', 'Fundamental Viewpoints in Contemporary Political Philosophies', 'The Middle Constitution in Aristotle's "Politics"'. In the first article, I indicated an incoherency which lurked in Aristotle's conception of a slave. Namely, he defined a slave as a living tool which lacks reason, while he cannot help recognize a slave as an human being that is rational being in definition. This point can be a philosophical basis which is able to explode slavery and to establish equality of all human being. In the second article, I clarified the concept of citizen and constitution in Aristotle's "Politics". That is to say, he defined a citizen as a person capable of political activities. This definition can demolish the traditional concept of citizen which consists of a discrimination of race, gender, social class, genealogy, so that his definition can be a basis of democracy. In the third article, I recognized multicultural condition as an unreversible presupposition of contemporary world which must be basis of political philosophies. Namely, it must search a concept of justice that is able to let different cultres and religions to coexist. This concept is just that of freedom and equality. In the fourth article, I made clear that the idea of democracy has a close conexion with the idea of the aristotelian golen mean. Namely, the best constitution is that in which the maiority is the middle class in virtue as well as in wealth. The stability comes from the middle that is just the exellency of democracy. These are the results of the three years research.
