Document Summary
The city in history: reading guide -chapter 7 . What did mumford mean by, the transition from the hellenic polis to the hellenistic metropolis, and thence to the alexandrian megalopolis ? (183) How did they differ from plato"s? (184 top) Aristotle"s naturalist to accept discussion of ideal cities nevertheless went farther in many directions than plato"s; for he was enough of a with more grace than plato the need for variety and plurality. But his differences political from his master were not so radical as they to seemed the younger man or to many of his later interpreters. Apart from sen- sibly rejecting the community of wives and pointing out the ambiguities in plato"s disposition of the classes, he merely systematized plato"s thought and brought it somewhat closer to actual practice. With this came an understanding of the teleological, goal-seeking, self-actualizing nature of all organisms, and of the natural limits that define normal growth.
