Ideally, power and wisdom must be united in same person (recommend philosopher-kings) • Individuals have strengths that can benefit society. • Role determined by talent- meritocracy • Education essential to good citizenship because educated seek wisdom and justice rather than wealth and power.

The best form of government would be an aristocracy, made up of educated members of the middle class. • People are not born good but learn to be good through education and membership in society. • Philosophers should be independent spirits- beyond trivia of politics. • Everyone educated and participate for the good of society.

  16. Thomas Hobbes 1588-1679 • Enlightened philosopher. • Social Contract Theory- Because people are selfish, they must give up some freedom in order to live safely and thrive. • Ideal from of government is a monarchy that serves the public interest.
