碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 101 === In this thesis, the metaphysical principles of Aristotle’s Politics are discussed in order to establishing a metaphysical teleological interpretation of this classical masterpiece. Three parts can be clear: the pure natural constitution, the adjusted city-state by art, and the harmony of the good of city-state and the good of individual. In the part of nature, the author demonstrates that pure nature constitution is the first entity of the city-state, the citizen association is the matter of the city-state, and the complex of them generates the several of constitutions. In the part of art, the author claims that the cause of deviation of constitutions is from the citizen association, and the solution to deal with it is the mixture of ruling elements of different constitutions. In the part of good, the author concludes that the practical wisdom of individual is the key of harmony the good of city-state and the good of individual. Finally, the city-state becomes reality from potential in the sense of metaphysical teleology.
