learning. Pluto described a prisoner being stuck and living inside of a dark cave. He was completely oblivious to the outside world and could only identify with shadows from the fire that was lit in the cave. Soon he became free and was exposed to the real world. He then realized that the shadows he saw in the cave was no comparison to the physical touch of another human being‚ or object. Overtime the prisoner in the cave had newly found knowledge and was able to adapt and adjust to the outside

At first glance‚ Flatland shares a multitude of similarities with Plato’s Cave Image. The members of Flatland are shackled to the walls of their two dimensional reality by the bonds of their authoritative opinions on the concept of existence. When members of Flatland are able to transcend these bonds and escape the cave‚ they are greeted upon their return with either death or imprisonment. Consequently‚ the revelations that they have learned during their travels are often lost or discredited in order

Allegory of the Cave/Truman Show Limited Knowledge‚ truth (or revelation)‚ reality‚ and idealism are some of the common themes expressed in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the film “The Truman Show.” The differences can be found in the way Plato allows some of the prisoners to remain unknowing‚ by giving them an almost fear-like stance involving the truth of their world‚ and how to free themselves.

First Plato’s dialogue Allegory of the Cave described what would happen if prisoners were chained to a wall and could only see the shadows before them.

LAVA CAVES Lava caves (or Lava tubes) are created when lava‚ emitted from the vent area‚ spreads in the path of least resistance. The outer layers of the lava harden‚ while the interior forms horizontal conduits that channel the advance of the flow. I was able to stoop through these conduits in amazement.

In his well-known “Allegory of the Cave”‚ the Greek philosopher Plato used the analogy of people lost in a cave to explain his belief that only enlightened philosophers should rule‚ since only they could truly understand the world. When I compared Plato’s ideal government to the workings of a modern democracy‚ I realized how different these two are. The U.S. government relies on the rule of the people‚ and does not limit voting rights or the pursuit of public office to any particular class. If Plato’s

modern times‚ people can be very condescending towards people with different religious views or cultural values. People fear what they do not understand‚ mock and insult unconventional views they disagree with. Just like in Plato’s allegory of the cave‚ the prisoners thought he was wrong‚ “But they will revile him as a ridiculous fool and might even put him to death for his heresies-a fate that has often befallen those who have dared speak unconventional truths”.
