Plato's Concept of Philosopher-kings

"The origin of society is that individuals can not be self-reliant, and the birth of our two people is not exactly the same." These two assumptions / principles are that Plato's ideal society is governed by philosophers It leads to. Do you think philosophers should rule over him? A good starting point is that Plato will take these two assumptions into account. The first hypothesis states that individuals are not self-sufficient (369 b). This is the foundation of urban formation, caused by the connection of the poor, human society is formed because everyone has their own unsatisfied needs.

This rule of social best thinking is the core concept of Plato's so-called "philosopher king". So far, important decisions about war, peace and social welfare have always been left to ambitious oversights such as corrupt or incompetent politicians, ignorant voters. Shogun who is not suitable for running country etc. As a result, bloodshedness, hatred, resource waste, and harsh conditions. There is no chance that things will be better, unless knowledge and reason is mastered - this is the best knowledge and the most powerful reason why society can concentrate. Wisdom lovers may not be keen on ruling as their main passion is a more intelligent pursuit. However, as they are best trained and knowledgeable people, they must have a legal obligation to manage the country - as a Technocratic Committee. (3)

In the Republic, Plato insists that the king should be a philosopher, or a philosopher should be a king or a philosopher. Because they have a special level of knowledge necessary to make Republic governance succeed. In this article, Plato's argument on the king's control of the philosopher is neither persuasive nor realistic, but it is arguing that traces of his ideal dominant form appear in modern countries. In order to clarify this argument, this paper first considers Plato's debate about the king of philosophers and its limitations, and finally discusses which features of philosophical king's control are effective and reality in modern countries It is considered whether it is.

According to this philosopher, the best form of the government is the form of philosopher control. King's ideal of philosophy was born in Plato's Dialogue Republic as part of the vision of a city of justice. It affected the Roman Empire and revived the European political ideology of the era of absolute monarchy.
