Politia thesis: But since he considers just rulers to be more important, he makes the (...) statement exactly in the middle of the Politeia (...): "Unless either the philosophers become kings in the states or the now so-called kings and violent people philosophize truly and thoroughly, and thus this both coincide, the power of the state and philosophy, there is no end to the disaster for the states and also not for the human race".(1) Höffe: Plato's rule of philosophy does not consist in what is today called expertocracy, in the rule of specialized experts. For Platonic philosophers are not only familiar with the basic conditions of a good and just community. They are also prepared to bring these basic conditions into reality without any private interest. >Philosopher king/Plato, >Philosophy/Plato, >Good/Plato.
