Plato and Aristotle were both very influential men of their time and brought vast knowledge to the world. I honestly believe that democracy does a lot of good, but it definitely has some common side effects. Of all Plato's significant ideas, his best was the idea of ​​democracy which opened political decisions to the majority who cannot think on behalf of the community. Aristotle on the other hand is very optimistic when it comes to democracy, so it becomes quite an interesting comparison and contrast between these and men. Plato had divided different variants of government into four corrupt souls. Timarcacian men desire honor and victory but end up getting caught up in the pursuit of wealth. An oligarchic man simply uses wealth and power to control the city using any means necessary to continue his happiness. The democratic man sees everything as equal and is fine with living with equal desires. Democracy, a system of government by the entire population or all eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives." Finally the tyrannical man who uses his righteous lifestyle to destroy and raze the city that governs. These are all the men discussed throughout the Republic written by Plato (Plato, ppt7). In the republic Plato examines all the different types of government ideas who controls a country. In the eighth book of the republic Plato explains the meaning of an oligarchy and when this is very unsuccessful. It doesn't work because those who have more wealth can take part in the government of the city. Plato also explains "when there are virtues and riches". put together on the scale, one always goes up while the other goes down... in the center of the card... the city is made by the fact that everyone feels equal from birth to today. Plato thinks that a just city is formed on the belief that everyone is forced into specific factions and told who to join, despite the person's personal beliefs. Plato's views on a "just city" were far-fetched and had an ideology very similar to communism. Aristotle even agreed that taking away private property was a bad idea because it “takes away the incentive to work hard” (Aristotle, ppt9). If I had to choose between both Greek philosophers to run a "just city" the best choice would be Aristotle. He had fully established himself under his mentor Plato and had created better and stronger ideas. In conclusion, I believe that Aristotle's views on democracy were very optimistic, whereas Plato did not seem to place much value on the fact that everyone had some sort of freedom in the political world..
