On the other hand, everyone needs someone to help grant them a start in life. In order to have that start, you must be able to talk and engage in activities with others (show sociability).
I deeply felt that I should point out Aristotle's discussion of slavery. It is not the most popular part of the Politics but it's extremely important for an understanding of Aristotle's conception of freedom and its relation to virtue. I felt that I must point out this subject, not only because of y race, but because of my beliefs. Aristotle does not support slavery in the conventional sense, but only in the case where the slaves are actually slaves by nature. I must acknowledge that I disagree with slavery in all senses and would never agree to a human being in slavery to another. I strongly disagree with his opinion that natural slaves actually exist because no one is born a slave. How is a person born a slave? Who decides the birth of a child as a slave? If someone is born a slave, their parents would have to be slaves. If a person is born black wouldn't their parents have to be African American? .
He had no conception of human dignity and did not assume that all humans are free and equal. Aristotle believes freedom is the opposite of slavery. He feels it is right to reason which directs man to the ultimate end of his existence. Freedom requires acting in accordance with the conclusion of right reasons, and right reason leads one to choose virtue, therefore true freedom consists in being virtuous. Aristotle's view about freedom is absurd. A person's moral standards should not determine freedom. Freedom should be a right and not based on a moral standard. .
Aristotle's ideas about women are also rather controversial. He believes that women are fully human. That is, they are not natural slaves and have the full use of reason. The husbands rule over the woman in a marriage is similar to his political rule which is rule over free and equal persons, in which both the ruler and the ruled are free and equal.
