Halkın elinde bulundurduğu kamusal güç olarak tanımını yapabileceğimiz demokrasi kavramı insanların her dönemde ilgilendiği ve içeriğine farklı anlamlar yüklediği bir kavram olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Söz konusu kavramı felsefe alanda tartışan ve kavramla ilgili oluşan sorunlara yönelik yanıt denemesine girişen Platon demokratia kavramını diğer yönetim biçimleri (timarkhia, oligarkhia, patriarkhia, tyranlık) arasındaki dönüşümlere bağlı olarak ayrıntılı bir şekilde ele almıştır. Bu çalışmada Platon'un demokratia anlayışını temellendirmek üzere filozofun demokrasiye ilişkin kaygılarını daha iyi anlayabilmek için demokratia kavramının Eski Yunan'da nasıl bir düşünce -eylem alanı bulduğuna değinilecek ve buna bağlı olarak kavramın felsefi alanda filozofun eserlerinde nasıl tartışıldığı Devlet, Devlet Adamı ve Yasalar diyalogları temel diyaloglar olarak ele alınarak araştırılacaktır. Çalışmamızda ileri sürülecek tez ise Platon'un demokratia karşıtı bir tavır sergilemesidir. Her ne kadar düşünür, olgunluk ve yaşlılık olarak ifade edebileceğimiz dönemlerinde yer yer demokratia'ya yönelik ılımlı bir tavır içine girse de söz konusu yönetim biçiminin toplumu yozlaşmaya götüreceğini de ısrarla vurgulamaktadır.

Democracy, which could be defined as the power of the folk appears to be a concept that have interested people of every age and have gained different meanings. Plato, while discussing this concept in philosophy and trying to answer the problems about it has handled the concept of democratia in detail, according to the transformations between the administration forms (timocracy, tyranny, oligarchy, patriarchy). According to Plato, the democratia as an existing regime will lead the society to political corruption. At this point, it should be made a discrimination between the concepts of conversion and degeneration. Though conversion which makes something into object a process is a concept that is inquired into epistemological and ontological basis, degeration which isn't comply with principle concerning existence is concept inquired into ethics basis. Research about democratia is a concept which should be inquired into both epistemological-ontological and ethics basis. The reason for conversion (metaboleus, eos) and degeration (etheo; etho) in the democratic governance arises from equality and liberty which go overboard in public. On that sense democratia is similar to anarchy. İn fact people (man) is sceptreless, free, uncircumscribed, but man: equal unclassed, tribeless, and nationless, exempt from awe, worship, degree, the king over himself. Society which goesthe rounds anarchy falls short of one's goal. This goal arises from concepts of eudaimonia (happiness) and ethos (ethics). The goal is toreach a just society. İf anarchism sways in a social, the social will fall short of one's goals. This goal come out concepts of eudaimonia and ethos. The goal is to reach a virtous society, just. Even though it isn't possible to reach entirely this in sensible universe, it should be created the closest of government to the ideal form of community. In this regard Plato falls about for a just politicaal system where is hold the key to change people's lives in terms of moral on condition that philosophy make use of. The most important issue for he repuplic (politeia) which causes to be found a ideal state is matter of what is justice. This matter is the result of him affect the conditions of the Plato age. The matter is a heroicphilosophical issue (problem) in theory and a serious life issue in praxis. But justice will instill esprits de corps in city state and reach eudaimonia (the happiness)to the commonity. For that reason, erudition and rule combined. According to Plato who makes an analogy between governments and human natures in the governments democratic governance contain within itself crcumstances which cause to be lost sense of virtue which (that) abstains from to be fair. Because a society is virtous, it has got social order and virtue of a human is probably harmony which is creaated by a man with his own. Justice but will be a matter of where the order. Although the order of society does one's part quintessntially of every citizen, the order (harmony) in one's own means to be provided mental authority his spirit. İn this direction democratic human who lives from day to day in democratic governance. The human understands that freedom is anarchy and violation submits and is disrespect democratia is a government that isn't a real science. Concordantly in this study is tried to shows that democratia isn't a just form of government. İn this study in order to ground Plato's concept of democratia, the space of meaning and action that the concept of took in ancient greece will be mentioned for a beter understanding of the philosophers concerns about the democratia and the dialogs Republic, Statesman, Laws will be held as basis dialogues in order to research how this concept is discussed the philosophical field in the works of the philosopher. The thesis which is put forward in our study is had an attitude by Plato who is militate against democratia. İn spite of the fact that philosopher was in a moderate attitude about democratia his own period when is old age and maturity. He insistently put emphasis on democratia which leads to the corruption society
