unlike other sciences. Sextus Empiricus and Plato were two pioneers of philosophy that greatly contributed to the questioning of things‚ moreover‚ being skeptical even if the things appear to be real or true. The purpose of Plato’s Allegory of the cave was to persuade readers that just because you sense (see‚ hear‚ smell‚ taste) something doesn’t mean that’s the thing you are sensing. This idea of skepticism was also supported by Empiricus‚ but unlike Plato‚ Empiricus is more radical in his skepticism

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

Most will agree‚ however‚ that the basic point of the movie concerns the subject of change. But we can also see the movie as a modern version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. From this point of view‚ Pleasantville depicted in black and white represents the cave‚ while color represents the world of enlightenment beyond the cave. Before David and Jennifer become Bud and Mary Sue‚ everything in Pleasantville is apparently perfect. Everyone lives their day-to-day lives without any problems. Pleasantville

differently in order to be more anthropologically accurate. To start the nitpicking on accuracy‚ the idea that Neanderthals by and large worshiped Bears‚ or had Rituals of animal sacrifice was almost certainly untrue. When Jean Auel wrote “Clan of the Cave Bear” it was widely accepted that Bear Cults and animal rituals were common among Neanderthal culture (HE‚‚ P. 376). Over the thirty years since the books writing‚ these myths of Neanderthal culture were uncovered as nothing more than wishful thinking

In Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave‚ a dialogue between two men‚ Socrates and Glaucon‚ reveals that our senses are not completely reliable. Socrates tells the story of a prisoner who has been chained for his whole life‚ able to see only shadows cast on a wall.

Socrates arrives to the conclusion that our senses are limited‚ just like the prisoner’s

Nature of rule is applied through “virtue‚ wisdom‚ and advantage.” If one is not virtuous in his decision making then he will be unethical; choosing based upon his own personal gain. If he man is not wise then he will have fault in what he does‚ and if he cares for advancing in his position then greed and power will drive him. When a person is not virtuous they won’t make decisions based upon what is ethically right. Without morals and values guiding them their decisions will be self centered
