Political Science - Plato on Democracy from his work "The Republic"
This is an essay that focuses on the philosopher Plato's negative view of democracy, drawn from his book, "The Republic." It delineates in detail why Plato views democracy as the second worst form of government behind tyranny. Instead, Plato prefers a "Philosophers-as-King" type of government where the elites rule. In this essay, Plato's opinion is contrasted with that of Pericles' positive opinion of democracy, drawn from the acclaimed work, "The History of the Peloponnesian War" by Thucydides.
