The argument is that the perfect state is not composed only 0:
perfectly good men j for such absolute goodness is incornpaiihk
with the different occupations or natural qualities of differm:
citizens, or their duties toward the government under which thr.!
live. All the citizens are not the same, and therefore the on?
perfect virtue of the good man cannot be attained equally by ail of
them. But they may all have a common interest in the salvation
society, which is the virtue of a good citizen. The Pythagorean
doctrine of the unity of virtue still lingers in the philosophy of
Aristotle. (Compare Ethics ii. 5. $ 14, iudho'l plu yip daXfis, miuril-

Aristotle having determined that the good citizen is not allvays a
good man, no\v proceeds to ask the question whether some good
citizens are not good men? Yes, the ruler must be a good and
wise man ; and the difference between him and other citizens is
partly proved by the fact that he has a different education.
