Summary/Abstract: Aristotle’s conception of the constitution, citizenship, and law – as presented in his work Politics – is one of the most valuable – if not the most important – approach in the sphere of political philosophy in Greek antiquity. The main problem that arises when we want to make a rigorous analysis of this philosophical conception is that of the correspondence of transduction with the realities existing in the socio-cultural area of the Greek world of that era and the observance of the correspondence of Greek terms with these realities. Hermeneutics presupposes – as a first rule – not to give the terms used by the author a different meaning than the one that the author himself had in mind. In this way, the correspondence between the social, political and cultural reality of the historical period that our analysis considers will be consistent with the correct interpretation of lexical forms of language in general – and with the authentic meanings of Greek terms used by the author.
