title: [How to set up a family and have healthy children? Plato and Aristotle's formulas for good life].
abstract: The article reconstructs and analyses the views of two great philosophers: Plato and Aristotle. Contrary to general opinions, philosophy busies itself not only with abstract issues, but also with the realistic ones. The thinkers introduced here prove this theory. They went into details discussing matters such as: procreation, behaviour of pregnant women, feeding and bringing up babies, children and teenagers' physical and mental education. Both men treated citizens' health as a matter of paramount importance, the matter of national significance.
