RESUMO
The conception of happiness is fundamental in aristotelian philosophy, as regards the books of Ethics and Politics. The books VII-VIII show it attached to the project of the ideal city. How Aristotle conceives and realizes his project in this context, where the citizens become really happy? To what extent the conception of the ideal city has as its ground the conception of happiness? And what conception is it? It is not for another reason that many discussions and different points of view emerge, since many scholars haven´t the same interpretations about it. There are are disagreements between exclusivist and inclusivist thesis, which help us to reflect about the conception of happiness in the context of ideal city. This study intends to reflect about this conception in the political context.Thus, we can remark and analyse how the project is drawn in the books VII-VIII of Politics, where its serves as the parameter of evaluation of what it is the excellent constitution for the ideal city (ariste politeia). In this way, the books VII-VIII provide an analysis of the conditions of possibility of happiness for the polis.
