We often wonder if reality is as real as it seems, and if we are part of a world that is real or fictional. Everyday before our eyes, we expose ourselves to objects; those whom we have comprised ideas of universal design. Take a bus for example, to see it pass by once, twice, or three times a day is no surprise to us. Similarly, we live with those things all the time, whether it’s our bed, a clock, a television, a car, or a chair. But when our eyes fix themselves to new objects, which at first we have vague ideas or lack prior knowledge about, we dumbfound ourselves and think it is “out of this world”. Gradually we incorporate it into our lives; spreading new knowledge. Just think of the time cell phones first came out and how

Reality 's Shows, programs and Showbiz shows are part of a dream world for us, we do not have much to do or say about it, but comment (like conversations between prisoners about the shadows). Along with these situations mentioned above, is how we come to realization of not wanting to remove that band that is tied to our eyes, now knowing that it’s an unreal world although we still consider necessary for our life because we always see a TV series or a showbiz and take importance that is more than required, and assimilate it into our daily lives.
We imagine "what if ..." and more than ever we think that at some point in our life we can pass something similar to what is shown on screen, therefore we connect emotionally. The need for self-improvement in every individual lies in our consciousness. It is in us (and only us), the decision of wanting to know more, to explore this "cave" to carry an ideal end, which is to have an philosophical abstract

    In The Republic, the Philosopher King becomes compelled to tell his citizens medicinal lies. When the citizens do not understand something, like medicinal things, the philosopher king becomes able to tell them almost anything and they will believe everything he says, and exalt him. He is compelled to do this to ease their minds, since they would not understand anyway, he figures it is just easier to not tell them. The Philosopher King also seems to understand more than what the citizens understand. But it isn’t his nature that sets him apart from citizens like him, it is his wisdom, virtue, and knowledge that lifts him higher than everyone else, and allows his to “understand” things that the regular citizens would not. This suits him because he is so wise, he understands why the citizens do not understand what he understands, or knows.…

    In Plato's Allegory of the Cave there were multiple beliefs brought upon by the prisoners of this cave. The prisoners of the cave are supposed to parallel everyday people in the sense of how reality is perceived. The prisoners of the cave believed and only knew that reality of the shadows and developed their own belief structure and way of processing that information. Plato connected that to everyday people due to the fact that although we strongly believe the reality we have made for ourselves, there can be more that we have never been exposed to. For example, when one of the prisoners were unchained and brought out of the cave into the world, he was overwhelmed and wanted to tell the other prisoners. Due to the fact that other prisoners could…

    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. The prisoner believed that the shadows were reality, but when he is released and dragged out of the cave, he finds a more important, more authentic reality. Socrates arrives to the conclusion that our senses are limited, just like the prisoner’s were, and that in order to come closer to the truth, we need to enter the world of intellect.…

    “The Allegory of the Cave,” written in the classical age of 360 B.C. by a Greek philosopher Plato, illustrates three chained prisoners trapped within a cage never seeing the outside world The only thing that they can see are the shadows created by fire of one's passing through. One prisoner was allowed the freedom to be released. As he discovers this outside world around him, he becomes eager to tell the other prisoners about it. The prisoners do not believe him, because they are not able to see it for themselves. The one prisoner begs and pleads for them to believe him, but they never do. It is like telling an orphan about a father and mother’s love, but they never received it so therefore they do not believe it.…

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, Socrates depicts a long, dark cave with a small opening that allows a small amount of light to enter. Inside the cave there group of prisoners, who have been in the cave for their entire lives. The prisoners legs and necks are chained to the cave floor so they are unable to move and can only look forward at the cave wall. At the back of the cave there is a fire that they are never able to view. In between the prisoners and the fire there is a low wall with a path behind it, along which people carry pictures, puppets, and statues. These pictures, puppets and statues are all the prisoners are able to see, and the echoes of the puppeteers when they speak are all they are able to hear. Although the prisoners are chained they are still content because all they have ever known are the shadows. None of them have ever seen anything beyond the cave and have no desire to do so. However one prisoner wakes up to find that he is no longer chained to the floor, and is able to leave the cave. Once the prisoner is outside he realizes that the shadows are not real. The prisoner then decides to return to the cave, to free the other prisoners, however reentering the cave would make his eyes have to…

    The allegory of the cave in Plato’s Republic is a metaphor meant to illustrate Plato’s views on knowledge but also strengthens his perception of the noble lie in society, an idea that is still very relevant today. It is designed to ask the fundamental question of: “What is the truth?” This is a clear reference Plato’s ideology that rests upon the sworn duty that Guardians make towards the state and it is hence emphasized by this analogy. The journey that one makes to be able to attain that superior state is full of hardships1(The Republic, 516, a) but it is meant to illustrate the route the Guardians take to attain the Philosopher-King status. It is what leads a man to enlightenment but also establishes a supreme duty for whoever discovers…

    In Alain de Botton’s essay, “On Habit” and Adam Gopnik essay, “Bumping into Mr. Ravioli” explain the way that individuals can think creatively and express their feelings and thoughts into newer meaning and in-depth ideas. They also explain the way that the human race are so engaged in technology and busyness that they are overlooking what really is important to them in their life. De Botton is worried that many people do not go beyond limitations and need to explore their surrounding more and appreciate what is going on around them. He urges people to use their ‘traveling mindset’ and try to approach their environments in a positive way that they may have never looked at it before. A ‘traveling mindset’ is when one determines how one will interpret and respond to situations when going to new or old surroundings. Gopnik writes about his three-year old daughter, Olivia, who has an imaginary friend named Charlie Ravioli. When Olivia talks about Mr. Ravioli, she always tells her parents that he is always busy working and does not have time to play or talk with her. Gopnik fears that Olivia is feeling lonely and is reflecting her real life into an imaginary presence. They further more explain the way that individuals should start to realize the benefits of human interactions and the exploration of their environment. The expectations of many individuals are sinking because of a lack of knowledge and desire to be one’s self.…

    In life, we have two choices: to accept the painful reality of the real world, and to believe the illusion of a perfect world. This was evident in the movie The Matrix (1999). The characters in the film, especially the main character Neo, have to choose to live in ignorance in what one believes to be reality; or to awake to the truth that what one sees as reality is an illusion. Oftentimes, I prefer to believe in wonderful ideas, the fantasy world, the happy ever after in fairytales. I dream of being in that world, being one with the hero/heroine who can make a difference in the world, who can save the world. Yet, we would never be like that. We don’t have supernatural powers to save the world. After watching the movie, I started to reflect what world we live in, and if this world what we really want or need.…

    Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” Imagination can be like a person’s intuition and their way of interpreting different ideas; it takes people beyond their knowledge and what they perceive and understand. It creates a mental image of a future state of knowing and allows us to ask the question, “what if?” Knowledge, on the other hand, is the information extracted from experience and education. It is similar to a path that has been laid out by us whether it is through our own personal experiences or through experiments based on the interpretation of our perception. However, without imagination, this path would have never been laid out. Our imagination is the reason why we live, why we achieve what we do and why our knowledge evolves in different areas of knowledge, such as natural sciences, mathematics, and arts. These elements of knowledge reveal the importance of imagination to us, and how imagination is beyond what we call knowledge (Bryne and Price).…
