Abstract

"The people at large," said Aristotle, "how contemptible so ever they may appear when taken individually, are yet, when collectively considered, not, perhaps, unworthy of sovereignty." For, "considered collectively," he argued, "the people form a complex animal with many feet, with many virtues; each member contributing something, more or less valuable, to the perfection of the whole body. The moral and intellectual excellence of the multitude thus differs from those of a wise and virtuous man, as the beaty of a fine picture from beauty of individuals."
