"the unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates
*** Plato's Cave theory
In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads. All they can see is the wall of the cave. Behind them burns a fire. Between the fire and the prisoners there is a parapet, along which puppeteers can walk. The puppeteers, who are behind the prisoners, hold up puppets that cast shadows on the wall of the cave. The prisoners are unable to see these puppets, the real objects, that pass behind them. What the prisoners see and hear are shadows and echoes cast by objects that they do not see
Such prisoners would mistake appearance for reality. They would think the things they see on the wall (the shadows) were real; they would know nothing of the real causes of the shadows. Plato’s aim in the Republic is to describe what is necessary for us to achieve this reflective understanding. But even without it, it remains true that our very ability to think and to speak depends on the Forms. For the terms of the language we use get their meaning by “naming” the Forms that the objects we perceive participate in.

    You did NOT just read off your slides, which impressed the class (and me). You looked like you knew a lot more about your subject than just what was in your PPt. Great work!

    (Your classmates gave you a 95.)

    Your report started of brilliantly, and then kind of ran out of steam. You had a good amount of info, and some terrific images, but the later slides were more wordy and less interesting. Very good overall, but just try to keep it catchy enough to hold the attention of a room full of antsy teenagers!
