This is a short reflection on an insightful passage from Aristotle's Politics, where he discusses how and why authority should be exercised for the genuine good of those who are governed. This is what most fundamentally distinguishes good regimes from bad regimes, according to Aristotle. We can apply this not only to political relations, but any sorts of situations where power is exercised by one or more people over others.
