	Early Polis
		The equation of the polis with the whole citizen body, even if governmental functions were often reserved to a smaller group, marks it off from other ancient states.
		All citizens had a share in the polis, which in its most developed form was based economically on the institution of chattel slavery.
		What forces shaped the emergent polis culture and the concept of citizen is, as you might expect, the subject of intense debate among historians.

	Polis
		The overwhelming importance of the polis in the evolution of European political structures is betrayed by the word "political" itself: derived from the word polis, "political" etymologically means "of or relating to the polis."
		Every once in a while, however, the administration of a polis would admit people into the citizenship who could not demonstrate descent from a citizen, that is, the polis allowed for naturalization.
		This was a brand new concept in the ancient world, and contributed to the Greek sense during the Hellenistic Age that Greek culture was or could be a universal culture.

	Political Philosophy of Alasdair MacIntyre [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		He is strongly opposed to many of the institutions that made day-to-day polis life possible: slavery, the treatment of women, the elitism of its politics and political philosophy, and its exclusion of outsiders.
		The virtues that are expressed in a society organized primarily around family and kinship networks have to be expressed differently in a society organized around the principle of the equality of citizens and the activity of politics.
		That the polis was the setting for the good life was, MacIntyre says, taken for granted by everyone participating in the debate about what the virtues could mean in their new setting, and in After Virtue he examines four of the voices in this debate: Plato, the sophists, playwrights such as Sophocles, and Aristotle.
