Views: Visits 4 By Donu Kogbara The SHIP OF STATE is a renowned metaphor that was coined by the Ancient Greek poet Alcaeus and later popularised by Plato, also a product of the Classical period in Ancient Greece and widely regarded as the founder of Western political philosophy. In Book VI (6) of his highly influential book, the “Republic” (which is still standard reading for intellectuals today), Plato likened the governance of a city-state (he was a citizen of Athens) to the command of a naval vessel and said that the only people fit to be captains of this ship were philosopher kings: Benevolent men with absolute power and an understanding of what is truly good.
