Abstract

Alexander the Great, as Aristotle’s student, partly realized Aristotle’s political philosophy. This paper examines the relationship between Aristotle’s eudaimonia and Alexander’s construction of Alexandria, compares multiple historical sources with Aristotle’s works, and argues that Alexandria’s design helps to ensure the realization of eudaimonia since it strengthens the authority and provides political education to citizens.
