Abstract
In this article, my purpose is to show the reception of some aspects of Aristotle’s political philosophy within Prima Clementis, a roman Christian exhortation of the second half of the first century A.D. Methodologically, I undertake an analysis of and put an interpretation on the concepts ὁμόνοια (concord) and στάσις (discord) in some passages of Nicomachean Ethics, Eudemian Ethics and Prima Clementis. I conclude that Prima Clementis uses both ὁμόνοια and στάσις in the same sense of Aristotle’s political philosophy. Such closeness makes possible to put forward the hypothesis (which I consider in another work) that the author of Prima Clementis had contact with Aristotle’s work through Quintilian, who was the developer of the roman education project that was conceived during the second half of the first century A.D.
