Plato: Types of Government Source: (

Introduction “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people find a way around the laws” Plato According to Plato's view do you consider yourself a good person or a bad person? Why?

Plato Background Born to wealthy family Athens Greece in 428 BCE Age 23 witness defeat of Athens by the Spartans – Concluded that War = Money Befriends Socrates – Searches for meaning of life – Plato planned to get into Politics – Socrates was tried and killed Plato no longer interested to be in a life of politics

Plato Background Continue – Plato focuses on how societies can be structured to bring out best of someone Promoted study of math, philosophy and government Founded Academy of Athens 387 BCE – Aristotle becomes a student – Dies 347 BCE

Plato on types of government Democracy – Tragically “inadequate” as a form of government Calls it “mob rule” Ignorant and uneducated government rather than the wise and virtue Autocracy: Government ruled by a single person with unlimited powers – Rulers rule for their own self-interest and greed rather than the good of the people – Ambition, fear and greed becomes stronger than reason and humanity – Results = Tyranny (unjust and cruel government)

Plato: The Republic Plato Rejects Democracy and Autocracy Main Idea: – Government can be constructed in a way to get the best of it’s citizens People have different strengths and weakness Ideal Society – One where everyone knows their role – Talent determines role in the society Not wealth, birthright or gender Different Roles – Strong = Soldiers – Skilled hands = artisans and laborers – Wisdom and Virtue = Leaders Believes the roles encourages citizens to lead good and just lives – Believes Education is essential to good government

Plato: The Republic continue Children = property of the government – Loyalty to state not parents – Power never hereditary – Children will be educated based of their own merit and skills Division of labor – Populace (People… laborers) – Administrators (Warriors… enforcing laws) – Rulers

Plato: The Republic continue Philosopher kings – The smartest-lover of knowledge, wisdom, and virtue should rule Chosen based of their intelligence Rulers not allowed to pursue personal ambitions – Role was to make laws Administrators enforces laws – Lives communally Receive no pay Not allowed to own property Prevents them from making decisions based on their own greed – Prevents Tyranny
