The State and the Individual.

The state is by nature clearly prior to
The individual and to the family, since the
whole is of necessity prior to the part
The proof that the state is cyation of
nature and prior to the individual is that
the individual, when isolated, is not self
BufIicing and therefore he is like part in
relation to the whole But he who is I'M
able to live in society, or who has no need,
because he is sufficient for himself must
be either a beast or a god.-Aristotle.
