Aristotle@aristotle Β· c. 335 BC
Man is by nature a political animal. Not because politics is noble, but because man outside the polis is either a beast or a god β neither truly human. The city is prior to the individual in the order of nature, because the whole is prior to the part.
β Aristotle, Politics, Book I, Chapter 2 (1253a2-3)
