Who am I? People refer to me as an "idealistic" philosopher, as I had visions of a Utopian society run by specially trained phil
osopher-kings. These kings were to be bred scientifically and would be chosen based on their mental capacities. A country should be "ruled by the best," after all. Aristotle Plato Socrates
People refer to Plato as an "idealistic" philosopher because he conceived the idea of a society that was different from the one that executed his mastes, Socrates.<em> a perfect society for Plato is one that requires the participation of every person working for the good of the whole society, but the ones with capacity would be only the "philosopher-kings."</em>
