    - - HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.. PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE .. AND AT AGE OF 50 PERSON IS ELIGIBLE TO BE PHILOSOPHER KING
      - ACC. TO PLATO THERE WILL BE NO CONFLICT IN ELECTING PK.
        
        AS ACC. TO PLATO "STATE IS BEST GOVERNED WHERE RULAR IS RELUCTANT TO RULE"
        
        THE PERSON ELIGIBLE WILL BE RELUCTANT TO TAKE OFFICE OF PK AS THERE IS NO LOVE FOR POWER AND MONEY
- - - - PLATO QUOTES: "IT IS FOOLISH TO QUESTION THE EXPERT PRACTITIONER OF MEDICINE WITH BOOK OF MEDICINE" :arrow_double_down:
      - NO LAW OR ORDINANCE ID CAN BE MIGHTER THAN KNOWLEDGE :arrow_double_down:
      - GOOD RULER IS LIKE A DOCTOR WHO COULD CHANGE THE PRESCRIPTION WITH DIFFERENT DISEASE
    - - CONSTITUTION
        
        TO MAINTAIN SIZE OF STATE
        
        NO EXCESS WEALTH AND PROPEERTY
        
        PRESCRIBED SCHEME OF EDUCATION AS IT IS CRITICAL IN FORMATION OF IDEAL STATE
  - - - PLATO DEFINED CITIZENSHIP NOT IN TERMS OF PARTICIPATION BUT IN TERMS OF "SHARED BENEFITS FLOWING"
        
        ACC. TO PLATO PARTICIPATION OF COMMON MEN WILL TO GOVT. BY OPINIONS" AS IT MAY LEAD TO FACTIONALISM& PARTICULARISM
        
        PLATO ALSO REJECTS MAJORITARIANISM ON GROUND OF MYTH OF METALS
      - PLATO BY DISCOUNTING THE OPINION OF AVERAGE, PLATO IS PLAYING SAFE TO PREVENT ANY CRITICISM AND OPPOSITION
        
        BUT PLATO'S ARGUMENT IS WRONG AS MODERATE CRITICISM IS NECESSARY FOR SOCIETY'S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
        
        ALSO THIS GOES AGAINST BASIC PREMISE OF DIALECTICS(HOW CAN LOGICAL REASONING ) CAN BE THERE W/O OPPOSITION
    - - SO QUESTION WHETHER CAN ANYONE CAN KNOW IT IN TOTALITY
      - ALSO TRUTH CAN BE FALSIFIED
    - - ARISTOTLE PREFERS RULE OF LAW OVER RULE OF A PERSON
      - ACC. TO ARIS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND PK AS HE IS AFTER ALL A HUMAN . IF HE HAS REASON HE WILL HAVE APPETITE TOO
        
        AND SOMETIME APPETITE MAY OVERPOWER REASON IN THIS CASE PHILOSOPHIC ABSOLUTISM MAY BECOME DETRIMENTAL
        
        AND AS LORD ACTON HELD "POWER CORRUPT AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY"
        
        WHEREAS LAW REPRESENT COLLECTIVE WISDOM OF AGES WHICH MORE DEPENDABLE THAN WISDOM OF A MAN
      - CONCLUSION:
        
        ACC. TO ARIS. PLATO SACRIFICES GOOD FOR SAKE OF BEST BUT BEST IS UNACHIEVEBLE :arrow_double_down:
        
        SO IF RULE OF PHILOSOPHER IS BEST THAN RULE OF LAW IS BEST APPLICABLE.
        
        SO THERE SHOULD BE CHECKS NAD BALANCES
- - - - ::arrow_left: RULE OF RICH (OLIGOCRACY) FALL INTO
        
        :arrow_right_hook: RULE BY POOR(DEMOCRACY)
        
        :arrow_upper_right:.
        
        :arrow_heading_up:
- - - - COMMUNISM OF PROPERTY
        
        GUARDIAN CLASS IS NOT ALLOWED TO OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY(MONEY ROOT CAUSE OF CORRUPTION)
      - COMMUNISM OF FAMILY
        
        ACC. TO PLATO FAMILY BIGGER ENEMY THAN PROPERTY, AS FAMILY PROMOTES NEPOTISM AND CORRUPTION
        
        SO NO PRIVATE FAMILY INSTEAD COMMUNISM OF WIVES AND HUSBAND
      - COMMUNISM OF MARRIAGE
        
        STATE WILL DECIDE WHO WILL MARRY WHOM: ABLEST MAN TO MARRY ABLEST WOMEN
        
        MARRIAGE WAS DOWN FOR PURPOSE OF EUGENICS.. PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE IS ONLY PROCREATION
        
        AND CHILDREN BORN WILL BE TAKEN OVER BY STATE AND WOMEN WILL BE RELIEVED OF RESPONSIBLITY OF BEARING CHILD
        
        AND CAN DEVOTE THEMSELVES FOR STATE AND PHILOSOPHY
    - - BECOZ THEY ARE NOT IN POWER
      - ALSO THEY HAVE APPETITE THEY CAN'T CONTROL LUST FOR MONEY AND POWER
- - - - PLATO OVERLOOK THE BENEFITS OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
        
        SOURCE OF RECOGNITION
        
        PERSON WITH PRIVATE PROP ARE MEN OF MEN OF REASON AS THEY HAVE STAKE IN STABILITY AND ORDER
        
        PVT,. PROPERTY SOURCE OF CLARITY
        
        PRIVATE PROP:SOURCE OF MOTIVATION
      - CRITIC ON FAMILY COMMUNISM
        
        ARISTOTLE HELD THAT "REMEDY IS WORSETHAN DISEASE"
        
        HE HELD THAT PALTO IDEAS ARE REGRESSIVE AND LEADS TO BARBARIC AGES
        
        PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE IS NOT JUST PROCREATION BUT ALSO EMOTIONAL STABILITY
        
        ARISTOTLE SAYS HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ALTERNATE INS. OTHER THAN MARRIAGE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXISTED
        
        SO STATE IS NOT A FAMILY BUT A FAMILY OF FAMILIES
    - - ARISTOTLE CRITIQUE OF PHILOSOPHER KING
        
        ARISTOTLE PREFERS RULE OF LAW OVER RULE OF A PERSON
        
        ACC. TO ARIS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND PK AS HE IS AFTER ALL A HUMAN . IF HE HAS REASON HE WILL HAVE APPETITE TOO
        
        AND SOMETIME APPETITE MAY OVERPOWER REASON IN THIS CASE PHILOSOPHIC ABSOLUTISM MAY BECOME DETRIMENTAL
        
        AND AS LORD ACTON HELD "POWER CORRUPT AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY"
        
        WHEREAS LAW REPRESENT COLLECTIVE WISDOM OF AGES WHICH MORE DEPENDABLE THAN WISDOM OF A MAN
        
        CONCLUSION:
        
        ACC. TO ARIS. PLATO SACRIFICES GOOD FOR SAKE OF BEST BUT BEST IS UNACHIEVEBLE :arrow_double_down:
        
        SO IF RULE OF PHILOSOPHER IS BEST THAN RULE OF LAW IS BEST APPLICABLE.
        
        SO THERE SHOULD BE CHECKS NAD BALANCES
