Abstract

Analytical study of the concept of desirable state between Plato's the Republic and the society of the Buddhist Assembly in Theravada  Buddhist  Philosophy  found  that  (1) The source of the concept of creating a desirable social state of both Plato and the Buddha are consistent in. (2) The aim of the desirable social state, both Plato and the Buddha were in agreement: they wanted a new society to be built with accuracy, perfectly society. (3) Politics and government Plato places great importance on governance, believing that a perfect society must be governed by a wise king. While the Buddha gives importance to governing that the principle of righteousness is great. (4) In terms of economy, society, fertility, the state of Plato and the Buddhist society, the Buddha's Buddhist society is consistent in the sense that it allows family and personal property, but there is an inconsistency in the issue that Plato does not allow the ruling class to have a family and private property, while the Buddha does not allow the monk society to have a family and private property that is not related to government. (5) The education between Plato's the Republic and the Buddhist society of the Buddha are consistent in terms of education, and education is the heart of society, but not consistent with the educational methods or educational systems. And (6) Plato's religion and ethics are consistent with the Lord Buddha in the sense that he wants people to be virtuous, under the training, development, fulfillment of their duties and world ethics, but there is a disagreement in the practice of developing morals and ethics at the world level, which is the highest ideal in Buddhism.
