Plato And Aristotle: Differing Knowledge Of What A Good Political Ruler Must Possess

Abstract: 10 pages in length. Plato and Aristotle harbored decidedly different perspectives when it came to the requirements of a good political ruler. For Aristotle, the greater good set precedence for all other political considerations; those who do not approach government in this manner are overlooking the primary function of its existence. Plato, on the other hand, was far too authoritarian in belief to expect that any good political ruler possessed anything other than the ability to rule a despotic empire.
