You know, I just took a class on this, I should remember.

I know Plato felt society should be ruled by a very few "wise men" who are unknown to the public.

funny...i just wrote "artists vs aristocrats" in the dems first 100 hrs threads, and then i see you wrote this:) anyways.....
i dont know, i looked up aristocrats because i felt it was the right word, but wasnt sure, and i found it was, that it involved a ruling class of nobility, heredity.
an aristocracy is:a governing body composed of those considered to be the best or most able people in the state.
any class or group considered to be superior, as through education, ability, wealth, or social prestige.
other definitions include, a government by the best, a government of the best citizens, the most powerful members of society.

i dont know about democracy...like the idealized version of aristotles democratic vision.
