Q In the sections that we read from Plato and Aristotle, we saw both philosophers talk about the ideal state and what the responsibilities of government/rulers and citizens are in that state. In what ways do Plato's idea of the Philosopher-King and Aristotle's belief in majority remain with us today? Do they still remain, and, if so, what do those remnants look like? If they do not remain, what has replaced them? Note: I know that we are in the middle of a presidential campaign, and everyone is excited to talk politics. Please do not espouse any sort of personal political philosophy in this discussion, and stick, instead to an examination of Plato and Aristotle. Thanks!
