The Analogy Of The Cave Tells Us Nothing About Reality The analogy of the cave was created by Plato to explain his philosophy and it allowed people to understand other forms such as beauty and justice. It was a theoretical situation‚ were prisoners were tied up and could only see what was in front of them‚ which was due to a fire‚ which burnt behind them. This was meant to represent ordinary people who can’t see pass the illusion of their world and are‚ according to Plato ignorant. The fact

The Allegory of the Cave‚ written by Plato‚ was a very interesting read for me. It got me to think how alike we are to those prisoners in the cave. Just like them‚ we “see” or rather perceive shadows on a wall in our daily lives‚ but not in the sense of literal shadows‚ but in the form of events and desires that we may have. To the prisoners‚ the shadows were a “limitation” to their reality. For us today‚ I feel that our fears are our limitations; the things that stop us from seeing what is actual

Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave” discuss the influence that some of these various teaching methods have on an individual. Freire’s work names and describes two specific approaches which are referred to as the banking method and the problem-posing method. Similarly‚ though in a vastly more abstract way‚ Plato outlines two other ways of learning about the world through metaphoric prisoners within a cave. Though my own educational

Case 2: Build a Bear Workshop: Where Best Friends Are Made The Build a Bear Workshop is a great idea‚ but it is a one-time deal. I feel that Build a Bear is a fad and that it does not have staying power. The ideas and concepts are great‚ and children love all the interaction involved in making their own teddy bear by stuffing it with love and giving it a heart. But‚ I feel that once a child has the bear or animal they wanted to create and an outfit or two‚ the excitement is over. They have experienced

Upon reading the Allegory of the Cave‚ one can see that Plato is arguing the importance of defining the theory of what is really being seen versus illusions that we see and think are reality. In this play‚ prisoners are chained by their feet and necks so that they can not move their bodies or their heads‚ forcing them to look straight ahead at a stone wall. A fire is burning behind them and people are walking with sculptures across a platform in front of the fire‚ creating projected images onto

The Allegory of the Cave The Allegory means a lot to people who are very mystical and like to think of different things about life. The allegory is a story about these prisoners whom since they’ve been children have been locked away deep inside a cave with chains all over their bodies including their heads making them be immobilized and their heads facing one certain wall. To the backs of these prisoners there is a fire and between the prisoners and the fire stands a way in which men carry various
