What Aristotle actually said

  1. Aristotle Greek philosopher (384 to 322 BCE)
    That a city then precedes an individual is plain, for if an individual is not in himself sufficient to compose a perfect government, he is to a city as other parts are to a whole; but he that is incapable of society, or so complete in himself as not to want it, makes no part of a city, as a beast or a god.
