Plato vs. Aristotle

Read this summary of Plato and Aristotle; then answer the questions! (sorry
the pictures and bold headings didn't copy(


Comparison of Plato and Aristotle's Political Theories

Plato is regarded by many experts as the first writer of
political philosophy, and Aristotle is recognized as the
first political scientist. These two men were great
thinkers.

The main focus of Plato is a perfect society. He creates a
blueprint for a utopian society, in his book The Republic,
out of his disdain for the tension of political life
(Hacker, 24). Essentially what Plato wants to achieve is a
perfect society.

Aristotle, unlike Plato, is not concerned with perfecting
society. He just wants to improve on the existing one.
76). Aristotle discovers that the best possible has already
been obtained ( All that can be done is to try
to improve on the existing one.

Plato's utopia consists of three distinct, non-hereditary
class systems (Hacker 32). The Guardians are
higher level ruling is the society's policy makers ( Hacker 32). Auxilaries are soldiers and minor civil servants (Hacker 32). Finally the
Workers, are composed of farmers and artisans, most
commonly unskilled laborers (Hacker 32). The Guardians are to be wise and good rulers. The guardians are to be
placed in a position in which they are absolute rulers.
They are supposed to be the select few who know what is
best for society (Hacker 33).

Aristotle disagrees with the idea of one class holding
political power (Hacker 85). The failure to
allow circulation between classes excludes those men who
may be ambitious, and wise, but are not in the right class
of society to hold any type of political power (Hacker 85).
Aristotle looks upon this ruling class system as an
ill-conceived political structure (Hacker 86).

There is so much of Plato's utopia that
is undefined and it is carried to extremes that no human
being could ever fulfill its requirements (Hacker 81).
Aristotle believes that Plato is underestimating the
Necessary good changes in human character and personality that
would have to take place in order to achieve his utopia
(Hacker 81).


The polis or city was set up to allow
political participation on the part of the average citizen
(Hacker 80). This contradicts Plato's theory of one ruling
class controlling the political power and all decisions
that effect the entire society. Hacker 92).
Aristotle said, "The people at large should be sovereign
rather than the few best" (Hacker 92). Plato would never
allow the full public participation in government as
Aristotle would like. According to Plato public judgments
of approval and disapproval are based on belief and not on
knowledge (Hacker 59).

Plato thinks that is a revolution were to take place it
would be a palace revolution (Hacker 64). A palace
revolution occurs when there is a power transfer from one
power holder to someone else. Aristotle sees the cause of
revolutions originating with either the rich or the poor. If there are
too many unhappy poor workers there is the source of revolution.
(Hacker 102). Plato thinks that in a utopia a disgruntled group of Guardians
will emerge and break from the rules (Hacker 63). He thinks
that in an Guardian class two things may happen to spark a
revolution: the first being the ruler and their offspring
grow to be weak rulers and too sympathetic, the second is
that the number of poor grows larger and suffer
exploitation at the hands of those in power over them

Aristotle helped to developed some democratic ideas. In
conclusion these men were great thinkers. They were thinking
about how to run a city or country long before The United States
existed!! Our democracy is based on their early ideas.

Q. Describe Plato's 'utopia'.
Q. Describe Aristotle's idea for a democracy for all citizens, not
just the rulers.
Q. Compare their ideas about the cause of a revolution.
q. Would you rather live in Plato's utopia? Or, Aristotle's vision
of a democracy?

Brief History of al Qaeda

1979-1989: Soviet War in Afghanistan and the beginnings of al Qaeda

The true roots of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network stem from the decade-long conflict that plagued Afghanistan from 1979-1989. After Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviet Union, the Afghan Islamist extremists found a rallying call for their cause, as young Muslims from around the world came to Afghanistan to volunteer in what was being called a "holy war," or jihad, against the invading Soviets. One of these young Muslims was a 23 year old from Saudi Arabia named "Usama" bin Ladin.

However, bin Laden's ambitions extended beyond the boarders of Afghanistan, and he began to develop a complex international organization. With Saudi Arabia and the United States pouring in billions of dollars worth of secret assistance to rebels in Afghanistan, the jihad against the Soviets was constantly gaining momentum.

1989-1996: Early al Qaeda attacks from Sudan

When the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan in early 1989, bin Laden and Azzam decided that their new organization should not dissolve. They established what they called a base (al Qaeda) as a potential general headquarters for future jihad.

Beginning with a fatwa called against the United States' deployment to Somalia, bin Laden would continually plan and aid attacks against the United States. Al Qaeda trainers allegedly aided in downing two Black Hawk helicopters in 1993. Bin Laden and al Qaeda also took credit for the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.

1996-2000: The rise of the Taliban resurrects al Qaeda

Due to mounting international pressure, Sudan forced bin Laden to return to Afghanistan, where he struggled to rebuild his terrorist network. .

Ideology and Goals

The principal stated aims of al-Qaeda are to drive Americans and American influence out of all Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia; destroy Israel; and topple pro-Western dictatorships around the Middle East. Bin Laden also said that he wishes to unite all Muslims and establish, by force if necessary, an Islamic nation adhering to the rule of the first Caliphs.

According to bin Laden's 1998 fatwa (religious decree), it is the duty of Muslims around the world to wage holy war on the U.S., American citizens, and Jews. Muslims who do not heed this call are declared apostates (people who have forsaken their faith).

2001- September 11 and al Qaeda Today

On September 11, 2001 al Qaeda executed its most devastating attack against the United States, killing nearly 3,000 civilians. However, the United States military response in Afghanistan would serve to cripple al Qaeda for a significant amount of time. With the protection of the Taliban gone and bin Laden in hiding, al Qaeda became far more decentralized, with operational commanders and cell leaders making the command decisions previously made by bin Laden. However, as a recent National Intelligence Estimate report showed, al Qaeda is once again gaining strength, and has significantly rebuilt itself despite U.S. efforts.
