What are the characteristics of a philosopher king according to Plato?
Definition of the Philosopher - His natural qualities
· The philosopher is in love with truth, not with the changing world of sensation, which is the object of opinion. He is interested in the unchanging reality which is the object of knowledge.
· Those who are only interested in the changing world of the senses are called 'sightlovers' and Plato likens them to blind men who have no true knowledge of reality, and no clear standard of perfection in their mind to which they can turn to and study before laying down rules of 'right' and 'wrong'. These sightlovers are not fit to be guardians nor rulers of Plato's ideal society
· The philosopher will never willingly tolerate an 'untruth'. He will hate falsehood.
· His pleasures will be in things purely of the mind, and physical pleasures will pass him by.
· He will be self controlled, and not grasping about money.
· He will not be petty, as this trait is incompatible with the constant attempt to grasp things, divine or human, in their entirety.
· He won't think death anything to be afraid of.
· A well-balanced man, who is neither mean nor ungenerous, nor beastly nor cowardly.
· He must have a good memory and be very willing and capable of learning.
How should Philosophers be educated?
· As children they are only to be taught the amount of philosophic training their age can stand.
· As they grow, they should devote a great deal of time and attentions to their body
· As their minds mature, they're mental training is to be intensified
· Once they're strength fails, they will devote their main energies to philosophy.
Does Plato know when you cheat?
Plato, being an ancient Greek philosopher, lived long before any contemporary context of cheating. Therefore, he cannot know when you cheat in a modern sense. However, his philosophical ideas on ethics and morality suggest that cheating would likely be considered dishonest and unethical by his standards.
