The concept has its origins in Ancient Greek philosophy and the concept of 'The Philosopher King'. A notable example of a noocracy was the Roman Empire during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, who contributed to the philosophy of Stoicism.

History

Philosopher kings are rulers who possess both a love of wisdom, as well as intelligence, reliability, and a willingness to live a simple life.
