Some key points made are that Aristotle criticized Plato's proposals for communism of property and rule by philosopher-kings. Aristotle believed in rule of law instead.

    -While criticism of Plato state comes to mind; however , his argument is strong and
    persuasive

    -Argument of those who know (Philosophers) ruling is not easily refuted

    The Statesman (book of plato )

    -later period of Plato’s life


    -less antagonist attitude towards democracy than the Republic

    -plato became more conservative with the following years

    -the good statesman , like the guardian , should be an expert. ( obvious repitition of
    the Republic)

    -education as an important function of government ; law is inferior to knowledge

    The Ideal State of the Republic ( Perfect but Impractical)

    Masood Ali Thahim


    LAWFUL STATE

    -knowledge expressed by Law is directing force

    Monarchy — lawful rule of one is the best state

    Aristocracy— the lawful rule of few is the second best state

    Constitutional Democracy; lawful and moderate rule of many is the worst of lawful
    state , better than unlawful

    UNLAWFUL STATES ;

    Tyranny — the unlawful rule of one

    Oligarchy — of few

    Unconstitutional democracy—- arbitrary rule of many

    -this classification modification in Plato’s early views

    -greater the concentration , greater room for good/evil depend upon state lawful
    /not

    Aristotle’s criticism of Ideal state
    -critique in (Book II)
    -own proposal of ideal state in book (VII)

    -constructive critique of plato’s Republic.

    1) Critique of Plato’s ideas of communism


    -plato want to achieve unity through communism, unity in the POLIS is productive
    of the highest good.
    -Artistotle criticised him for misinterpretation of nature of polis ; unity of plato kind
    only applicable to household
    -communism of wives or children will not constitute improvement over traditional
    family ties
    -denial of property rights opposed to human nature
    -private property makes possible demonstrations of liberty.
    -property is natural pre requisite of man .
    -property, however, be regarded as means and not ends .
    -Aristotle neither socialist not capitalist
    -crimes donot result from unequal distribution of property, but also greed.

    Masood Ali Thahim


    “MEN DO NOT BECOME TYRANTS IN ORDER TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO COLD
    “

    -emphasized to equalize men’s desires than tan equal property distribution.

    2) Criticism of Rule of elite ( philosopher king ) , and abandonment of Rule of Law.

    -despotism= loss of individual freedom, dignity


    -law as supreme means men could be ruled with their own consent.
    -rule of law permits the EXPERIENCE OF THE AGES and THE WISDOM OF THE
    PEOPLE to play a role
    -men in mass produce knowledge superior to that of single lawgiver.
    -stability and predictability are also components of rule of law.

    Similarities between Plato and Aristotle;

    -both believed “ state as a sole agency through which good life could be found “

    Difference;
    -Plato sought justice in rule of men ( perfect )
    -Aristotle sought justice in RULE OF LAW.

    ARISTOTLE’s IDEAL STATE ;
