La educación como ideal de Estado: reflexiones en torno al libro VIII de la Política de Aristóteles

Abstract

This article is to reflect on book VIII from Aristotle ́s Politics against the idea of perfect city he studied in prior books of the same work. Education will, then, appear as the way to address to the zoon politikón. We also reflect on the teleological unit that underlies throughout the work of this philosopher as a neces-sity for our economically and not structurally globa-lized world, as globalization is like a net of connec-tions that aim to an economic telos in which the parts are ordered to favor individualism and the particular interests of the market.
