WHO HAD THE BETTER POLITY...
PLATO OR ARISTOTLE
In order for the greater good of the state to reach its full potential, the ideal polity must include all class of persons so that all those who live within it can experience happiness.
The citizens by themselves, however, will never be able to achieve this, because they lack reason and rationalization. Their beliefs, and bodily desires for pleasure hinders their judgment, and ultimately leaves a misappropriated balance of happiness among the state.
The polity in which the philosopher rule’s, is the only polity, in which the satisfaction of the people will be ensured. For the philosopher king, is sufficient enough within himself, to be resilient to the temptation of frivolous desires, thus, ensuring the greater good of the state, and the greater good of the people.
