Abstract
This study examines how Aristotle defines politics and administration in his political philosophy as the moral actions of the “great-souled” statesmen. How an ideal regime and administration should be is one of the oldest issues discussed by political philosophy. In addition to Aristotle's ideas about how the ideal statesman and citizen should be, his conception of the ideal regime that should be preferred continues to be important apparatuses for resolving current political issues. In this context, the article analyzes the importance, from political philosophy, of Aristotle's comprehension of the human being, as a creature that inclines to carry out coordinated actions, together with others, that complete each other.
