Ⅶ．Conclusion

This paper states the doctrine of Aristotle's philosophy of eudaimonia and the facts of the construction of Alexandria, compares the parallel between Alexandria and Aristotle's eudaimonia, and responds to a challenge that Alexandria betrays Aristotle's philosophy.

In conclusion, the construction of Alexandria completes the role of political education to help people become citizens, emphasizes authority,and creates a multicultural polis where people can bond together in communities. All these characteristics relate to Aristotle's politics and eventually contribute to the realization of eudaimonia through life in the polis.

For the most of the time of his life, Alexander acted as a conqueror but not as an architect. This time, however, Alexander turned his talents to do others and planned a huge city. Alexandria is Alexander's only physical legacy that persists today, and it is therefore essential for people to investigate this feat. In particular, as this paper has argued, Alexandria exemplifies Aristotle's influence of philosophical doctrines on Alexander the Great, which provides a real case in which Aristotle's ideas are realized.Through Alexandria, people can understand how Aristotle's philosophy functions in reality, and this is the ultimate aim to study the relationship between Aristotle and Alexander the Great.

Unfortunately, although archeologists have strived to find the city of the original Alexandria for many years, it has not been discovered by archeologists yet. With more archeological evidence, people can further investigate how Aristotle's philosophy is demonstrated in this imperishable monument of Alexander the Great. Therefore, it is beneficial to combine archeological research in Alexandria with the study of the relationship between Aristotle and Alexander.
