Abstract

The present article proposes a critical analysis of the traditional interpretation which puts forward that the fact to define politics as a science � as Álamos de Barrientos and other Spanish authors of the same era did � supposed a conceptual novelty and rupture with the Aristotelian tradition. By the examination of Aristotle's political science concept and its medieval reception it is possible to show that these Spanish authors were not out of this tradition.
