4. Aristotle's Politics is built primarily around his list of political systems. But at two point he offers lists of what he considers the "necessary parts" of a state. The earlier list (iv. iii. 1290^b 21-1291^b 14) contains eight "parts": (I) farmers, (2) craftsmen, (3) traders, (4) manual labor ers, (5) warriors, (6) councilors and judges for litigation, (7) the rich, and (8) public servants. His first four classes would fall primarily under our second category: "Serve (provide for materially)," as would his seventh. His fifth would be our third ("Defend"). His sixth would probably fit best under our heading of "Govern," and similarly with his eighth (in their ad ministrative role they are perhaps the beginnings of what we would now call a "civil service" or "government bureaucracy"). Aristotle also notes that these various offices may be per formed by the same person. Indeed, in what looks to me like a solemn academic wisecrack, he notes that all men incline to think themselves capable of carrying on most offices, except that they cannot be both rich and poor (hence the stress he lays upon wealth as the main mark of class distinction).

Our last four categories ("Teach," "Entertain," "Cure," "Pontificate") are omitted. However, in his later and shorter list of occupations, "parts" or erga (vii. vii. 1328^b 4-1328^b 24), he adds the priestly function. According to this list, the state's indispensable needs are: (I) food; (2) handicrafts; (3) arms; (4) money; (5) (or, as he puts it, "fifth and first") religious service; (6) ("most necessary of all") machinery for dealing with questions of citizens' rights and interests. Here, by condensing, he has covered more ground under fewer heads. But "Teach," "Entertain," and "Cure" are still omitted.

Perhaps such modern institutions as publicly supported hospitals and "socialized" or semi-socialized medicine now sharpen our notion of "Cure" as a "civic" function. Also, of course, whereas Aristotle was thinking of the "necessary" offices of a city specifically, our list is more broadly conceived (in terms of what people do for one another socially). And perhaps our long familiarity with compulsory education (including "propaganda" and "indoctrination") sharpens our awareness of ‘Teach" as a basic "office." But it is surprising that he has omitted "Entertainment" as a function of his city, in view of what he has written on the "catharsis" supplied by music and poetry and in view of the fact that the Athenian stage was a civic institution.

However, the occupations that are omitted from these two lists are duly considered in the Politics as a whole, as they were also in Plato's Republic (about Book ii of which Aristotle's dis cussion in connection with his first list gives a somewhat misleading idea). There Socrates gradually builds up a state by beginning with a minimum of indispensable social functions for dealing with man s sheerly bodily needs. Drawing an analogy between the person and the state, Aristotle holds that Plato's view of primary functions stresses the soma at the expense of the psyche. Hence, according to Aristotle, even more important than considerations of ma terial utility would be such spiritual parts as the judicial, the deliberative, and the military.
