The problem, as I shall attempt to show, is that it has a circular momentum, and, ultimately, is trapped within itself. If we look at this in relation to Aristotle's teleology, we find that we are not free if there is a design on us that is not our own. Yet, this implicates all culture, considering that the very concept of enculturation is a kind of design, is conceived as alien. But this also implicates education, whether by parental influence, or by the influence of teachers in an institution of learning. Finally, and most significantly, it implicates the responses that we have to other people, especially emotional responses.
States are natural entities, and like other natural objects they have a goal or end.
Teleology is a feature of Aristotle's political theory no less than his biology. A fundamental principle of democratic constitutions is liberty . . . One form of liberty is to rule ruled . . . It is the prerogative of citizens, and a large majority of the population does not possess citizenship. Women have no liberty.
