    In Book 7, Socrates presents the famous metaphor – allegory of cave. The metaphor demonstrates the influence of education on a human soul. People see shadows of statues in the dark place and believe these figures to be real. This shows people’s lowest stage on the Socrates’ line – imagination. When a prisoner is unchained, blinded with the light of fire, within the time he sees that indeed shadows are reflections of statues. This is where belief is represented - he sees the link and percepts this to be real. Finally, the person is taken out of the cave and, blinded within the sunlight, later he sees the real world: real trees, flowers, animals,…

    In this weeks reading, the artwork that resonated with me most were the Etruscan tombs. As an anthropology student, I am drawn to artwork that is unclear in its meaning, and I am especially drawn to burials. I find it extremely fascinating that we as humans have always placed importance on an afterlife, whether one believes in reincarnation, heaven, or any other type of eternal place of rest.…

    In Michael Ramsey’s video depicting Plato’s Allegory of the Cave men are held captive in a cave since childhood. The only reality they knew was demonstrated before them as the shadows of civilians as they passed by them. All seemed normal in their world until one of the prisoners was set free and taken out of the cave. Once his eyes became adjusted, he was able to accept the new reality portrayed all around him. I had a similar experience when I transitioned from high school to college. In high school my reality was based on the security, structure, and guidance provided by exterior influences, college has helped me to change my perception of reality.…

    Over the years, conversations of the topics of Plato’s writings arise. The teachings from Socrates of the “Parable of the Sun, Myth of the Cave and Divided Line” have become very popular to the world. So popular that it has an impact on the movie industry, the stories are hidden in some movies. More movies depict the stories” The Divided Line and The Myth of the Cave “ rather than “The Parable of the Sun.” The movie, eXistenZ, is an example of “The Myth of the Cave and The Divided Line”, since the stories are very similar. The movie has many similarities to “The Myth of the Cave”, but can correlate better to “The Divided Line” for more structure.…

    Plato is one of the most important Greek philosophers and a pupil of Socrates. He founded the Academy in Athens, an institution devoted to research and instruction in philosophy and the sciences. His works on philosophy, politics and mathematics which were very influential.The complex meanings that can be perceived from the "Cave" can be seen in the beginning with the presence of the prisoners who are chained in the darkness of the cave. The prisoners are bound to the floor and unable to turn their heads to see what goes on behind them. To the back of the prisoners, lie the puppeteers who are casting the shadows on the wall, which the prisoners are perceiving as reality.…

    The Allegory of the Cave" by Plato represents a metaphor that is to contrast the way in which we perceive and believe in what is reality. What is reality exactly? What may we see that others may not? These questions can be simply answered with one word: ignorance. Ignorance is what may hold us back from seeing the big picture. In his story, Plato establishes a cave in which prisoners are chained down and forced to look upon the front wall of the cave. Behind the prisoners, lies a bridge, a fire and others whom may cast shadows on the wall that the prisoners may perceive to be reality. The general point thus far of the allegory is that the general terms of our language are not "names" of the physical objects that we can see, such as a desk. We may look at it and see a desk, but what is it really? A piece of wood that is merely attached to metal and a chair? They are actually names of things that are not visible to us, things that we can only grasp with the mind. This is said to be described as "imagination," by Plato. When we are unaware of reality, we become to feel uncomfortable and tend to not open our minds because we are merely in our “comfort zones.” Once we step out of our ignorance (the cave) and see that our “reality” (the shadows) is not true reality (the sun), the ultimate stage of thought has been achieved, and that is…

    Peter Lawless Dr. Gary Dresser First Year Seminar September 4, 2016 The question as to why a person is a certain place at a certain time can befuddle some people. Some people give the straight forward answer saying that they have always wanted to go to a certain place in the view of their own personal interests, but there is a deeper definition as to why that individual is at that school. Plato’s allegory of the cave shows two different stages of education and how they are still present today. Now the question changes and is asked towards me, why am I at Concordia college? I first heard of Concordia through one of my baseball coaches who told me to look into the school for baseball. I did as I was told and as soon as I visited…

    The Allegory of the Cave

    • 481 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In “The Allegory of the Cave”, I believe truth is being portrayed as something we as humans see, maybe only once, without it even being the whole truth. Even then we neglect to see “other truths.” According to Socrates, and I quote, “From the beginning people like this have never managed, whether on their own or with the help by others, to see anything besides the shadows that are [continually] projected on the wall opposite them by the glow of fire.” Socrates believes humans will automatically assume something to be truthful, and with no actual evidence that we won’t even bother to look at the sight of whatever it may actually be. At then end, if someone would try to tell us otherwise, we will neglect the actual truth and still believe we know what the truth really is. Even if the actual truth was shown to us, and we were seeing it with the naked eye, it will not be enough to convince us otherwise of our own perception. However, I believe Socrates is saying that as humans, we need to be forced to look at the “real truth” and that it will take time to assimilate to once we’re forcibly presented with it. However afterwards, we will see the light; we will see the real truths behind what we previously believed to be false. After the truth has been revealed to us, we will assimilate to it permanently. Socrates states, and I quote, “But I think that finally he would be in the condition to look at the sun itself, not just at its reflection whether in water or wherever else it might appear, but at the sun itself, as it is….” However, knowing too much of the truth can lead to conflicts, and that is probably why so many things are hidden from us. Maybe our problem is not that we don’t want to see the truth, but that we are scared of what the outcome may be if we do know the real truths.…

    Back in Ancient Egypt mummification and tomb preparation were both very important to Egyptian Society. Mummification was getting the body ready for burial, while the tomb preparation was setting up the room you stayed in. During mummification the heart, lungs, liver, and spleen were taken out from the body and placed into canopic jars. The body was stuffed, and then set to dry out with a preservative on called Natron; which would lie out for around 60 days. After, the body would be wrapped in cloth, and taken to its tomb. Tomb preparation is when items needed for the afterlife were put in to help the body. Some items that were put in were canopic jars, shabtis, amulets, and some of the person’s favorite things. The main reason of mummification and tomb preparation were to help guide and support a person in the afterlife.…

    The inhabitants of the stone and bronze ages of Northern Italy, the region known as modern day Tuscany, eventually developed into the people that are known by others as the Etruscans (Nardo pg.8). The ancient Greeks had other names for them, including the Tyrsenoi or Tyrrhenoi and the Romans moniker for the Etruscans was the Tusci or Etrusci, but the Etruscans called themselves the Rasna or Rasenna. (Barker and Rasmussen pg. 85) If this confusion over a simple name seems odd, it is only the beginning of the mystery concerning this enigmatic culture.…
