Abstract

In this paper, after some introductory notes on “communism” and on
the relation between Aristotle and Plato (in section 1), we proceed to
narrate briefly Aristotle’s report (section 2), and his criticism (in
sections 3 and 4), of the theory of family and wealth communism in
Plato’s philosophy. Then, we try to have a glance on this theory as it
has proposed by Plato in his Republic (section 5). At the end, we
endeavor, on the core of Plato’s message, to assessing Aristotle’s
report and criticism of the theory (section 6). In the last section, while
we accept Aristotle’s words in an special level, we try to clear Plato of
Aristotelian accusations.
