Summary

This quote by Aristotle suggests that the creation of a state by nature precedes the existence of an individual. It implies that individuals, when isolated from society, lack self-sufficiency and are dependent on the collective entity of the state. In other words, humans are interdependent and function as a part of the whole society. This statement reinforces the idea that the state is a fundamental unit established by nature to fulfill the needs of individuals and ensure their well-being.
