Plato on Constitution - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 39 Constitution/Platon/Höffe: In Politicos(1) Plato anticipates the scheme of six constitutions that was traced back to Aristotle. For he distinguishes in the - monarchy the kingship of the tyranny, in the - rule of some the aristocracy from the oligarchy and for - Democracy the one that binds itself to laws, from the one that refuses to be bound by them. Unlike Aristotle, however, he pleads for the rule of a royal man bound by no laws. >Constitution/Aristotle. 1. 291d ff._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
