Polis literally means "city" in Greek. It defined the administrative and religious city center, as distinct from the rest of the city..
Plato analyzes the polis in The Republic, whose Greek title,Politeia, itself derives from the word polis. The best form of government of the polis for Plato is the one that leads to the common good. The philosopher king is the best ruler because, as a philosopher, he is acquainted with the Form of the Good. In Plato's analogy of the ship of state, the philosopher king steers the polis, as if it were a ship, in the best direction.
