Abstract

This paper analyzes the problem of wealth limitation in Plato and Aristotle. It also aims to demonstrate that, on the basise of the concepts of pleonexia in Plato and aplestia in Aristotle, it is possible to see where Aristotle opposes Plato – on a particular difference over the question of the delimitation of wealth to establish equality of goods.
