iv (vii). 10. 1330_a_5 ff. He would make part of the land public. In

this principle, that the prosperity of the whole involves that of the
parts (iv [vii]. 1328_b_37 ff.; 1329_a_18-21), his unjust criticism of
Plato on this point. Zmavc (_Zeitschrift_, etc., p. 56, n. 3) rightly
observes that there is more truth in this Greek doctrine of the
relation of the individual to the state than moderns are prone to
recognize.

Footnote 851:

_Op. cit._, p. 391.

Footnote 852:

Francotte (_L’Industrie_, II, 250) strongly emphasizes their extreme
limitation of the individual. Souchon (_op. cit._, p. 170) refers to
them as precursors of Marx, though he recognizes the difference in
their aim.
