The great ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle stands at the origins of modern science. Tutor of Alexander the Great, creator of the first systematic treatises, and a thorough investigator of the cosmos, Aristotle laid the foundation for disciplines such as Logic, Metaphysics, Ethics, Physics, and others. The treatise "Politics" is one of the philosopher's most important works, in which he examines the main forms of government and the purposes of the state, defining it as "association organized for the sake of the common good." With his characteristic clarity of style, Aristotle critiques various political regimes, discusses the issues of the family institution, the existence of slaves and the upbringing of youth, reflects on the importance of religion, and portrays an ideal society "providing people the full opportunity to live according to their aspirations."
