Politics is a work of political philosophy by Aristotle, a 4th-century BC Greek philosopher. The end of the Nicomachean Ethics declared that the inquiry into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise—or perhaps connected lectures—dealing with the ''philosophy of human affairs''. The title of Politics literally means ''the things concerning the polis'', and is the origin of the modern English word politics.
