Plato and Aristotle are Greek philosophers for whom status of their country was very important. However be-tween them there were big differences – more and less obvious. Apart from ontological differences, we can note a lot of ethical and political questions in their pieces of work. In Aristotle, we see argumentative and personal points directed against Plato. Above all, they were the intellectual elite of Greece, so they did not waste emotions to prove the point. But they were people and members of society, too. Political ambitions was nothing new for them, particularly for Plato. So between the lines, in Aristotle, we can find some mundane arguments. When philosopher from Stagira was writing about Plato, he was pointing out mistakes Socrates too. Because he claimed about Socrates mistakes when he explained questions of justice and irony. But mainly, both of them thought the same about happiness and in spite of these differences they reached similar conclusions in this issue.
