The ideal of a philosopher king was born in Plato’s DIALOGUE REPUBLIC as part of the vision of a just city. It was influential in the ROMAN EMPIRE and was revived in European political thought in the age of Absolutist monarchs. It has also been more loosely influential in modern political movements claiming an infallible ruling elite. In Plato’s Republic the leading character, Socrates, proposes the design of an ideal city as a model for how to order the individual Soul. Philosophers are both morally and intellectually suited to rule: morally because it is in their nature to love truth and learning so much that they are free from the greed and lust that tempts others to abuse power and intellectually. They use their knowledge of goodness and virtue to help other citizens achieve these so far as possible.
