The book explores the evolution of democracy from Plato's anti-democratic thesis of the philosopher-king, which emphasized governance as an art, to contemporary democratic models. It argues that while Plato's ideas emerged in the 5th-century Athenian context, modern democracy has significantly improved and is influenced by his governance concepts. The author examines the transformation of democratic principles over time, highlighting the relevance of Plato's thoughts in shaping today's political landscape.
