Document Summary
Two ways to justify a regime: just regime: for the common good, unjust regime: for the self-interest of the ruler(s)/regime. The essence is the rich and the poor. A person who acts bravely (i. e. citizen soldier) should be awarded a medal (agreement on the thing). But it"s disagreed upon who exactly is courageous (disagreement on the person). Aristotle argues that people individually might be of partial intelligence, but that collectively they may be smarter than the few best men individually.
