| Abstract | ||
| Through our study entitled (the philosophical structure of the virtuous society : a comparative study between Plato and saint Augustine) , we reached at some findings the most distinguished of are as follows : 1- Both philosophers come at the point that the idea precedes the deed and the vision of the state is ideas before it becomes deeds and a reality . 2- The state according to these two philosophers must be characterized by perfection and stability and the idea of state according to them belongs to the absolute realities and the world of high ideals and the state should be identical with the eternal reality or the world of the high good . 3- Saint Augustine agreed with the philosophers who were more close to Christianity instructions about the idea that God takes care of the universe and dominates of the order of the world and wants everything perfect and makes the universe and the humanity existence as an order the imitates and contributes with the higher system that is to say the politics of the state goes according to the laws of determination as happening in the physical sciences . 4- In order to achieve order and stability in state , these two philosophers resort to the virtuous side in man and society which is wisdom , so the wise who is similar to God by the Augustinian language in Plato is the philosopher who should govern and who is the most virtuous man in the state . 5- The platonic philosopher and the Augustinian church realize good and justice so that they represent the will of the heaven on earth . 6- The continuity of order in the platonic city is fixed and eternal as the world of ideals so as their laws and traditions are taken from the order , coordination and the beauty of the high ideal and they are good and virtuous . Also order , coordination and beauty are the characteristics of the city of god so as their laws and systems are taken without any doubt from the divine instructions . | ||
