The document discusses different philosophers' views on who should govern society. Plato believed that one leader could harmonize conflicting interests and bring political order. Aristotle believed that politicians could bring people together in society. Both philosophers were trying to explain issues of leadership and governance. Aristotle added that politicians are like craftsmen who can implement ideas and agendas of governance for society.

1. The issue of who should govern who has been of major concern
to the society. Philosophers have differed on the issue of the
people who are supposed to govern people. Some have
suggested one; others have suggested few, and others have
suggested that people are supposed to be governed by many.
According to Plato, who was a Greek Philosopher, he believed
that the conflicting interest of people could have been
harmonized, and political order is brought into place by one
leader. The other philosopher who had similar thoughts on the
issue was Aristotle. He believed that politicians were the people
who could have brought the people in society together. These
philosophers were trying to explain the issue of leadership and
the governance of the people. Aristotle has added that the
politicians are like craftsmen, and they have the capabilities of
pinning up ideas and agendas of governance to the society
(Buckingham, 2011).
