Özet:

 In this study, the issue of state and duty is examined in the context of Aristotles Politics. Aristotle claims that the ultimate goal of human life is happiness and therefore defines the ultimate goal of the state as enabling a just and happy life. Indeed, in Aristotles eyes, the state is, in a sense, the ground for human self-realization; it is responsible for not only the material but also the spiritual existence of the individual because the main issue is not only living, but also living well. According to Aristotle, the state is responsible for many duties, both to meet the needs of the individual and to achieve moral competence, and to ensure the well-being and happiness of society. In other words, Aristotles state is responsible for many areas, most of which are considered primary public services today, such as defense, security, justice, education, health, public works, agriculture, trade and economy, for the ultimate happiness of the individual and the public.

 Bu çalışmada, Aristotelesin Politikası bağlamında devlet ve ödev meselesi incelenmiştir. Aristoteles, insan yaşamının nihai amacının mutluluk olduğunu iddia eder ve dolayısıyla devletin nihai amacını da adil ve mutlu bir yaşamı olanaklı kılmak olarak belirler. Nitekim Aristotelesin gözünde devlet, bir bakıma insanın kendini gerçekleştirme zeminidir; bireyin salt maddi değil, manevi varoluşundan da sorumludur çünkü esas mesele sadece yaşamak değil, aynı zamanda iyi yaşamaktır. Dolayısıyla Aristotelese göre devlet, hem bireyin ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilmesi ve ahlaki yetkinliğe erişebilmesi hem de toplumun iyiliğini ve mutluluğunu sağlayabilmek için birçok ödevle yüklüdür. Söz gelimi Aristotelesin devleti, günümüzde çoğu asli kamu hizmeti olarak kabul edilen, savunma, güvenlik, adalet, eğitim, sağlık, bayındırlık, tarım, ticaret ve ekonomi gibi birçok faaliyet alanından, bireyin ve kamunun nihai mutluluğu adına sorumludur.
