	Polity - Voyager, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		It is often used to describe a loosely organized society such as a tribe or community, but can mean any political group including a government or empire, corporation or academy.
		Aristotle described a polity as rule by the many, who are neither wealthy nor poor, in the interests of the whole community.
		He believed it to be the ideal form of government somewhere between oligarchy and democracy.

	Aristotle (384-322 BCE): General Introduction [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The works of Aristotle fall under three headings: (1) dialogues and other works of a popular character; (2) collections of facts and material from scientific treatment; and (3) systematic works.
		Among his writings of a popular nature the only one which we possess of any consequence is the interesting tract On the Polity of the Athenians.
		The works on the second group include 200 titles, most in fragments, collected by Aristotle's school and used as research.

	Confucius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		We know him mostly from texts that date to the "Warring States Period" (403-221 BCE).
		During these eras, China enjoyed no political unity and suffered from the internecine warfare of small states, remnants of the once-great Zhou polity that collapsed after "barbarian" invasions in 771 BCE.
		For more than three hundred years after the alleged year of Confucius' birth, the Chinese would fight each other for mastery of the empire lost by the Zhou.
