Discussion
Which of the following statements is/are true in the context of Aristotle's philosophy ?
i. He considered private property as essential and justified.
ii. He did not advocate private family system.
iii. He justified slavery.
iv. He was not an advocate of status quo.
Answer: A
The answer is Only i and iii.
Aristotle defended private property as natural and useful (i), criticising Plato's communism, and he justified slavery, arguing that some people are slaves by nature (iii).
Statement ii is wrong, since he defended the family against Plato's proposal to abolish it, and statement iv is wrong, since he favoured stability and the existing order, warning against revolution. Options including ii or iv fail.
