can be argued that‚ from a grander perspective‚ disproving old knowledge does not mean that our new-found knowledge is of higher quality‚ since we may never have an accurate grasp on reality beyond what our senses suggest. Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” tells us that‚ what we believe we are seeing are but our interpretations of ‘shadows’ cast by other things. This can be compared to the fact that before the sixth-century BCE‚ almost everyone people believed in the Flat-Earth Theory. They had established

Portrayals of prehistory in popular books‚ films‚ and television programs are sometimes more interesting for what they tell us about contemporary life than for what they reveal about ancient cultures. In the Clan of the Cave Bear (and the books that followed it) a doomed Neanderthal race is hopelessly outclasses by physically modern‚ culturally advanced "Others." Such portrayals could be labeled as accurate or inaccurate based on current findings. Whether or not these primitive peoples had belief

People’s perception on reality is not always true. Those are mistaken for ideas they believe is reality. This is what Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” was based on. According to the text‚ the prisoners are sitting in a cave‚ chained from their legs to their neck so they cannot move. The prisoners are watching images cast on the wall with fire blazing above and behind them. They cannot grasp true reality‚ which are shadows intentionally made by men. They were forced to have one idea; and if anyone tried

Why do you think that? How so? Because I love Socrates I find everything Plato writes thoroughly interesting. The minute he opened this part of The Republic with “how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened‚” I was interested. The part in the Allegory of the cave that stood out to

They base this conclusion by comparing the size and detail of the animals vs. the smaller size and lack of detail in the people. When you look at the cave painting this does make sense. Here you have sticklike small men shooting arrows into

The Allegory of the Cave Response paper The Allegory of the Cave is one of the most philosophical writings based on reality I have ever read. I have read a lot from Henry David Thoreau‚ from C.S. Lewis and others‚ but this piece of Plato’s book ‘Republic’ made a big impression on me mostly because it was written in Ancient Greece in the fourth century B.C. My favorite part of the book is in the first paragraph: “like the screen at a puppet show‚ which hides the performers while they show
