The Ideal Governments of Plato and Aristotle

In ancient Greece people called philosophers began thinking about the world in various ways. Their way of thinking is different from the ordinary way of thinking that day. When other people practice paganism and worship the gods of Olympus, philosophers think about ways to create the body, soul, and a better world. Greek philosophers know that their works are still being read and taught today. They left their name in this world. One topic often discussed by philosophers is politics and government.

Philosophers are known for casting doubts on ideals; see all choices and the most important options. Aristotle and Plato are immersed in an unknown world of political situation, but Aristotle is a strict utopia structure and group of Plato compared to the ideal state of the country's personal status, representing an equal ruling country for the individual I will. The reverse is true. The ideal state of Plato is strictly constructed by utopian ideals. - "I thought that in this discussion, Socrates would agree that anyone, even the most foolish, would always be in the same country rather than what the soul does not exist. "(Platto), Phaedo 79e) In this article we assert that the soul is not necessarily constant and eternal

Plato's student Aristotle rejected his attempt to find an ideal country. Instead he did a thorough analysis of the actual political system. Democracy is not a form of government that is absolutely corrupt as described by Plato, but there are still serious flaws. For Aristotle, the best regime is a mix of good government forms (monarchy, aristocracy - few best rules, and numerous democratic rules). His republic will be able to nurture good laws and good citizens. In order to achieve this goal, Aristotle proposed that citizens must govern according to the law. With this government change system, everyone can access the rules. (Needless to say, everyone says in Athens that it means only the head of the birth of men - where there are no slaves, women, foreigners (foreigners) in public places, Plato is promoted to a philosopher class by women To make it possible)
