This paper seeks to present the intellectual framework in which the Latin translation of Aristotle’s Politics by William of Moerbeke in 1265 emerges and to some extent evaluate its first repercussions in the classification of scientia practica in the university context of the 13th century Latin. It is not a matter of making an exhaustive study of the reception of Politics, nor of scrutinizing the intellectual conditions, particularly university, of the Latin medieval world prior to the translation of Politics, but of understanding the conditions of assimilation of the aristotelian political text within the framework of understanding the practical sciences
