アリストテレスが暴君と君主を区別するのに、前者は自らの利益のために統治を行い、後者は臣民のために統治を行うという事実をもってしたのは本当である。しかしながらアリストテレスの区分によれば、有史以来この世界にはただの一人も君主が存在したことはないということになる。
It is true that Aristotle distinguishes the tyrant from the king by the fact that the former governs in his own interest, and the latter only for the good of his subjects; but it would follow from Aristotle's distinction that, from the very beginning of the world, there has not yet been a single king.
