| Philosopher King - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Philosopher King: Plato believed that the philosopher king is the only person who can be trusted to rule well, because only the philosopher has knowledge of the absolute truth, and is able to apply this knowledge for the good of the state. This concept is first explored in Plato's Republic, written around 375 BC. See also State, Society, Governance._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
