Democracy

Introduction

It is known that Plato devoted part of his philosophy to politics. Perceptions were aristocratic, similar to the origins and upbringing.

Even during such a state of Plato belonged to the past.

For the development of the ideal state - this damage, destruction, because development is possible only to the best, and that the state already has a perfect, free from evil; therefore limited to trade, industry, finance - because it is all that corrupts; ideal state is mandatory for all institution - and for the aristocracy of the mind including - Because they have to rule over the "rage" and "lust." The ideal state of individualist opposite the Greek state. The purpose of the state: unity, virtue state as a whole, rather than a single class or an individual. It has long been contended that ...
