A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF PLATO'S CONCEPTION OF IDEAL HUMAN SOCIETY

This long essay aims to benefit from optimistic restructuring of the plato's conception of "Ideal human society" to distinguish the importance of society to wonder what extent ideal human society can come through into this social practice and make implications about the presence and the future human society. For this purpose, it has been considered that beside of political and philosophical functions human society also have pedagogic functions. Traditionally, the human society has been defined as a group of people who interact with each other based on the common culture, morality and economy. To become the society, a group of people should function as an organization from this point increase an ideal human society. It is necessary to change the principle of organization and to propose new patterns according to which people should interact with each other as the complex organisms. The concept of the ideal human societies discussed in the works of many philosophers. It is important it is to pay attention to the conception presented by Plato in his work "The republic" on the issue of the ideal human society. Plato discusses social classes and form of governance to provide the model of the ideal society. To propose one more model of the ideal society it is necessary to refer to the classical plato's version, Nevertheless the concept of the ideal society rather utopian because of the impossibility of creating such society reality. Although, the notion of ideal society is the controversial question with the elements of utopia they are specific features and companies which combination can contribute the constructing the model of the perfect society references to the personal vision over an ideal society as a collective consist of individuals whose nature makes them compete and fight for the better resources. Nevertheless, people can be discussed as good and sympathetic while living in the community if their interests are met. People become aggressive if they are afraid of losing their resources, property or advantageous living conditions. However, people are inclined to follow laws correctly and avoid their violation when they are satisfied with the position within the society including the social status of the public, the Democratic government should implement the effective economic system to improve the state of the public. The family is the main social institution which is typical for traditional societies. The creation of family is the creation of a micro society with the specific hierarchy and rules. A society in which the majority of people can satisfied their needs welfare without violating the rights and freedoms of other people can be discussed as ideal. The main principles of plato's ideal human society and mutually different, on one side, he talked about Justice and equality while on the other hand expounds communism that is to deprive the two classes from the private ownership and natural family life. Further the majority professional class is free of communism. It is clearly against the concepts of communism and justice are colliding with each other. Temporary marriages and nationalization of all the means of production and not natural and are against human nature. Plato's ideal human society seems to suffer the lack of practicality and feasibility. Plato's vision of an ideal human society where philosophers rule and private properties abolished was so idealistic and did not take into account the complexities of human nature and society. He fails to provide any constitution for his ideal human society. There is no systematic structure of legislature, executive, civil service, local government, human rights and political parties. Although, plato political idea is composite of realities and utopia but despite the above negative points, plato ideal state concept play very important role in politics his concept of Justice and communism are applicable thoughts. His concepts of state is useful for the students of political science student today. This is the main reason why it is the part of the academic course. The world society now operates on a flawed foundation and premise necessitating the recommendation of actionable steps to actualize and put in practice a true and ideal human society. In a bid drive home, the aims and arguments of this study, a thesis is developed and defended. Thus, it attenuates the philosophical questions that surround the thoughts behind plato's conception of ideal society. Question such as what should be a true ideal human society? what is human society? what political, philosophical and social processes does enhance an ideal human society.? Given the present-day world society, as an ideal human society being accomplished? Owing to this assumption, this essay sets to unravel the extent to which this assumption can be examined within it attendant challenges such as there no case where plato's idea of ideal human society is responsible for the problem encountered by some societies of the world that rely on the structural procedures of plato's conception for sustenance of the future. The purpose of this research must be to try a critical examination of an ideal human society to examine some social structural and political forms of ideal society. Also, the essay shall access some possible problems that are very common to the human society so as to profer necessary applicable solution. Another objective of the study is that it shall examine some social benefits available to human society and how to maintain it through sustainable political principles, theories and guidelines. This study within the purview of philosophy will attempt to examine the issues plato's ideal human society and its relation to the present-day human society. Hence, the deficiency alighted in this study form the basis for this present study. Classes in the social life on the basis of functions are impracticable which may also cause some social vices in the society. This essay is justified on the premise that since the ideal human society of plato is impracticable but only thoughtful in reality, possess some elements of truth that are applicable to the present day human society which are intertwined in the political system of the society, leading to a philosophical implication of social and political theory that is considered fundamental to unravel some of the needed challenges that surround the human society. In the social contract of Jean Jacques Rousseau, three levels or types of will were in play. First, individuals all our private ways for expanding to their own selfish interest as natural individuals. Second, each individual in so far as the identifies with the collective as a whole and assumes identity of citizen, wills the general will of that collective as his or her own, settling aside selfish interest in favor of a set of laws that allow all to coexist under conditions of equal freedom. Third, and very much problematically, a person can identify with the corporate will of a subset of the populace as a whole. The general is therefore both a property of the collective and a result of its deliberations, and the property of the individual in so far as the individual identifies as a member of the collective.
