Aristotle, Alexander and the Greek 'Politeia'
Abstract
The relationship between Aristotle and Alexander the Great is particularly difficult to perceive due to the lack of sources and the likely differences in their respective way of thinking. A letter attributed to Aristotle and preserved in an Arabic translation could radically change the question. It advices on the right way of governing the new empire, which seems to fill this blank space. The problems concerning the authenticity of the text show, however, the existence of a true gap between both figures.
