The concept of mechanics being base is obsolete, as modern mechanics are not some carpenter working in some small workshop but engineers and industrialists,whose work is as noble as it gets. No one will say that E. Sreedharan is not noble.Also,the class having enough leisure was that of big landowners (zamindars), which no longer exists. In today's world everyone has to work unlike older times where not having to work to earn a livelihood was considered a sign of gentleman. So kindly take a new look at Aristotle's arguements as they need to be slightly changed for modern world with its industrial economy and norms.
