2019Richard Romeiro Oliveira. The Aristotelian theory of regimes and the problem of kingship in Politics III. Trans/Form/Ação, v. 42, n. 2, p. 31-58, 2019.3

The main purpose of this paper is to understand the complex and many-sided nature of the theory of regimes elaborated by Aristotle in Politics III and thereby to identify the main philosophical and conceptual elements that make it possible for the philosopher, at this point of the work, to accomplish a vigorous defense of the thesis according to which the kingship can be considered, under certain political circumstances, the best form of government.
