A TEORIA DAS FORMAS DE GOVERNO DE NORBERTO BOBBIO, SEGUNDO ARISTÓTELES E POLÍBIO

Abstract

The article develops the reflection on the forms of governments indicated by Aristotle and the mixed form of government in the molds thought by Polybius, in view of the application of the distributive justice of Aristotle in the modernity. Norberto Bobbio, in his course on Forms of Government, emphasizes the importance of Aristotle in defining the forms of government and that only the good forms, thought by Aristotle and the mixed form of government, according to Polybius, have application in modernity. According to Bobbio, in Aristotle, there is a connection between politics (forms of government) and law (theory of justice). It happens, however, that in modern times, justice, especially distributive justice, is more adequate to the Social Democratic State than to the Liberal Social State.
