Card 17 / 63: Why does Aristotle think political science is the most authoritative of the sciences?
A) Because its subject matter concerns how human beings live together in a society, it takes precedence over sciences that have other concerns.
B) Because it is concerned with the distribution of political power, it correspondingly has the most authority among the sciences.
C) Without political science, the other sciences would not exist.
D) Political science prescribes which sciences should be taught and legislates what must be done and what must be avoided. It also incorporates the ends to which the other sciences are a means, and does so not merely for the individual but for the polis as a whole.
