The main objective in Plato’s philosophy is a creation of a perfect society. ...
Plato lived during the Peloponnesian War, which consequently lead to the end of the Athenian democracy. ... Plato felt that the common man wasn’t intelligent or capable of dealing with concepts that influence the state such as economics, policy of foreign affairs and other relative matters. ... In Plato’s perfect society, he forged ahead to eliminate the disease (pluralism of friendship) that plagued the human character and society (Class Notes). Essentially, Plato wanted to establish the perfect form of society, linked by one single entity.
Aristotle, unlike Plato, was not focused or concerned about the idea of a perfect society, instead he wanted to improve upon the one that he was part of during his existence. ... He felt that Plato’s view of a strict overhaul of society in general wasn’t necessary. ...
Plato’s perfect society would consist of three basic groups, which are Guardians (Gold), Auxiliaries (Silver), and the Artisan (Bronze). ... Plato’s theory of the forms is partly logical and part metaphysical. ... Plato whole-heartedly felt that if ever the bronze or iron people rule the state would collapse (Class Notes). ...
Aristotle’s disagreed with Plato in regards to allowing one particular class to govern the state politically for indefinite period of time.
