• Development of Economic Thought
• Test #1
• Question 1: Plato and Aristotle held significantly different views on the nature and role of private
property in society. Explain their conflicting views, and how it related to their conception of human nature.
•
• Plato and Aristotle’s view on the nature and role of private property in society differed from each
other. Plato believed that there existed a hierarchy of values which was the soul, the body, and wealth, in
that order. That means that material wealth and private property were something that Plato did not believe
in. Plato believed that private property would then tempt man to pursue, what he believed was the lowest
value to man, wealth. Plato believed that people should live together in a common area and would share
everything and be equal to one another. Basically a socialistic society is what Plato envisioned to be the
best for man.
• Aristotle on the other hand differed from Plato. Aristotle thought that man possesses a human
nature that can’t be molded to conform to an ideal of a perfect state populated by perfect people the way
his teacher, Plato, believed. Aristotle argued that if all land was held in common and all work was
performed jointly there existed the potential for animosity and anger among the participants. Men would
then feel that they have not received what was theirs when work and reward was not strictly enforced, the
way it is with private property. Aristotle saw property rights as an incentive. With the ownership of private
property people will then feel that they will get to keep the fruits of their labor, which breeds production.
Aristotle also believed that private property also would lead to an attitude of generosity towards others.
