This study focuses on the human nature and social understanding of Plato and Aristotle. The way how these two philosophers explain the human nature and society and the place of the interferences of human nation and society in their understanding of management in the political theories is discussed. Accordingly, Plato and Aristotle agree on the notion that people have certain characteristics inherently. Similarly, they defend the same point of view about people who are born with certain talents and about the necessity of developing these talents by education they receive. On the other hand, both philosophers has the same way of raising awareness in the society. Both Plato and Aristotle believe that it is hard to live in the society as people are not self-sufficient living-things and they always need others. Having a look at the differences between Plato and Aristotle, Aristotle does not talk about the world of ideas assumed by Plato. In addition, he says that every person has a goal inside to perform the best. Thus, he gets the idea that the state established by gathered people is a good state. Plato thinks that people should do work and receive education according to their background in the state model according to him, while Aristotle believes that some people should become administrators as they can directly predict everything with their innate intelligence and some people should become administrated as they have innate physical strength.
