Resumo: This work aims to highlight Aristotle’s reflections on the forms of government, in particular, the political and legal elements admitted as positive and negative, as identified in different historical poleis. When examining some of the main Aristotelian texts, especially Politics, it is observed that the philosopher concludes that the best constitution is that which, according to the people in question, allows the full development of human capacities. However, Aristotle does not entirely exclude the concept of a perfect constitution, although he follows an explicitly different perspective from Plato. Perfection is always understood within the limits of what is possible, as an instrument for measuring empiricalvariability and as a mechanism of impulse for human beings to always seek to improve their political organizations to achieve their eudaimonia.

Del examen de algunas de las principales obras aristotélicas, en particular la Política, se observa que el filósofo llega a la conclusión de que la mejor constitución es la que, según el pueblo en cuestión, permite el pleno desarrollo de las capacidades humanas. Sin embargo, Aristóteles no excluye totalmente la concepción de una constitución perfecta, aunque sigue una perspectiva explícitamente diferente de la visión platónica. La perfección se entiende siempre dentro de los límites de lo posible, como instrumento de medida de la variabilidad empírica y como mecanismo de impulso para que el hombre busque siempre mejorar su organización política para permitir su eudaimonía.O presente artigo tem objetivo evidenciar as reflexões de Aristóteles sobre as formas de governo, em especial, os elementos político-jurídicos admitidos como positivos e negativos, identificados nas diferentes poleis históricas. A partir do exame de algumas das principais obras aristotélicas, em particular, a Política, observa-se que o filósofo conclui como a melhor constituição aquela que, conforme o povo em questão, permita o desenvolvimento pleno das capacidades humanas. Entretanto, Aristóteles não exclui totalmente a concepção de uma constituição perfeita, embora siga uma perspectiva explicitamente diversa da visão platônica. A perfeição é compreendida sempre nos limites do possível, na qualidade de instrumento de medida da variabilidade empírica e de mecanismo de impulso para o homem buscar sempre aprimorar a sua organização política para permitir a sua eudaimonia.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2020-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/article/view/e2006610.35699/2525-8036.2020.20066Revista de Ciências do Estado; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2020): Estado e (contra)cultura II; 1 - 50Revista de Ciências do Estado; Vol. 5 Núm. 1 (2020): Estado e (contra)cultura II; 1 - 50Revista de Ciências do Estado; v. 5 n. 1 (2020): Estado e (contra)cultura II; 1 - 502525-80362595-6051reponame:Revista de Ciências do Estado (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/article/view/e20066/19302Copyright (c) 2020 Igor Santoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSantos, Igor2021-08-31T18:16:43Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/20066Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revicePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revice/oairevistadece@gmail.com || Gabriel.afns1@gmail.com2525-80362525-8036opendoar:2021-08-31T18:16:43Revista de Ciências do Estado (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
