Theory of aristotle on family

Hellow friend today we will read about the theory of aristotle on family
Aristotle on Family
According to Aristotle, Family is a natural institution. It existed even before
the State. Without family, there is no State. It is the centre point of the state.
According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of relationships in a family. Firstly,
between husband and wife. Secondly, between parents and children. Thirdly
between slave and master. A head of family has three kinds of relationships
within the household. But a ruler has only one kind of relationship within the
State. It is between the ruler and the subjects. Therefore, the family is different
from state, not only in degree, but also in nature. Family does not include the
State. But the State includes the Family. Family is mainly to meet elementary,
physical and intellectual needs. The State is mainly to meet the intellectual
needs. The State can control the Family. But the Family cannot control the State.
The family is not a biological contract. But it is a friendship forever. It is a
unconditional friendship. According to Aristotle, the eldest male member must
rule the family.
