Of Prudence as regards the state, one kind, as supreme
and directive, is called Legislative Science1; the other, as dealing with particular occurrences, has the name,
Political Science, that really belongs to both kinds. The latter is concerned with action
and deliberation （for a parliamentary enactment is a thing to be done, being the
last step2 in a deliberative
process）, and this is why it is only those persons who deal with particular facts
who are spoken of as ‘taking part in politics,’ because it is only
they who perform actions, like the workmen in an industry.3
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
