Aristotle believed that one can have the political virtues without having the moral virtues because there are different kinds of government. Consequently, for Aristotle, one can be a good statesman without being a good man. Neither Augustine nor Thomas Aquinas would agree with Aristotle on this point. Because of Christianity’s influence on our country, it was just understood that to be a good statesman, one had to be a good man.
