Today I gave a short lecture about Plato's Allegory of the Cave. You can find that HERE.
HOMEWORK: Tonight, please read The Allegory of the Cave and annotate it. Consider the following questions:
- What is the allegory really about?
- What connections can you make between Plato's allegory and our society?
- What kinds of people can escape the cave? Can you think of historical or contemporary figures who might be escapees?
- What are the dangers of escaping and returning? Why?
