October 29th‚ 2013 Ai WeiWei Art Review: “Straight” Art is one of the oldest ways in which humans communicate. Art can be dated back to humanities’ first steps‚ used as a mean to record and worship‚ such as the examples found in cave paintings of the Lascaux cave in France or the Venus of Willendolf. (Source #1) And for a long time‚ art did not deviate from its original path as a tool for society. Artists lived only as servants to their churches‚ their nobles and their kings. As the churches

In a study on the activity of cave crickets‚ they found that 45 percent of crickets moving out of the cave was affected by temperature and humidity (Campbell 1976). This shows that there was some sort of relationship between temperature and movement of crickets out of the cave. Since this study was done during

Deeper Look into the Cave True reality is not obvious to most of us. We mistake what we see and hear to be reality and truth. This is the basic premise for Plato’s Allegory of the Cave‚ in which prisoners sit in a cave chained down‚ and are forced to watch images of vessels‚ statues and figures of animals made of wood and stone cast on the wall in front of them. They have no other option but to accept these views as reality and they are unable to grasp their overall situation: the cave and images are
Free Mind Perception Truth
Ingrained in the minds of each man entrapped in the cave were the beliefs that everything cast upon these walls was real life and nothing else existed in this world. The prisoners in the cave reflect humans in society‚ how they are mindless individuals and refuse to believe anything not presented directly to them‚ how they are trapped in by those with power and are forced to oblige by the rules laid for them. One prisoner‚ however‚ manages to escape the cave—his time there concluded. No longer restricted

The Allegory of the Cave is the seventh chapter of Plato’s most celebrated book The Republic in which he looks for equity‚ which as it were a perfect frame of government can offer. He has envisioned a state‚ which he calls the Perfect State‚ in which individuals ought to be politically free. They ought to have a clear vision of life‚ which they can do as it were by coming out of the tangible dream. He takes this world‚ the world of recognition‚ as the shadow or impersonation or reflection of the

Philosophy Homework 1A.) “Explain Plato’s analogy of the cave” Plato’s analogy is intended to explain the fight or struggle for true knowledge about the world and to see a different view on how we see the world. The analogy tells the story of three prisoners who are chained with their backs to the entrance of the cave‚ so they are unable to move or see anything behind them. Behind them is a fire and many people move through the cave all day and they are carrying things‚ so the shadows are projected

Another paleoproxy that I have found is speleothems‚ also known as cave rocks. Unlike glaciers and ice sheets that are exposed to erosion and weathering‚ speleothems are well preserved in caves. They contain climate data from thousands to millions of years ago and are dated by measuring how much uranium has decayed into thorium for each layer. For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general

Plato’s “The allegory of the Cave” addresses so many different areas of philosophy including‚ epistemology‚ metaphysics‚ asceticism‚ ethics‚ etc. In his allegory it is important to seek what Plato is trying to accomplish through locating his rhetorical devices‚ his tone‚ his position and arguments‚ in order to develop meaning to his allegory. Plato’s philosophies include education‚ interaction‚ individuality‚ and human nature to make his statement of what the correct path to “enlightenment” should
