    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

    Arlet Duran Response to “The Allegory of the Cave” What is truth? In “The Allegory of the Cave”‚ I believe truth is being portrayed as something we as humans see‚ maybe only once‚ without it even being the whole truth. Even then we neglect to see “other truths.” According to Socrates‚ and I quote‚ “From the beginning people like this have never managed‚ whether on their own or with the help by others‚ to see anything besides the shadows that are [continually] projected on the wall opposite

    Social scientists have studied it‚ lawyers have tried to fix it and post-feminist society is over it. But women are still outnumbered by men in math‚ science and engineering fields. Most overt discrimination against women in the sciences has been reduced or eliminated in recent decades through legal‚ academic‚ corporate and government measures. But a climate that is less than fully friendly to women remains‚ and its texture is often still so taken for granted that it tends to be invisible. The

    Allegory of the Cave By Plato Socrates: --Behold! human beings living in a underground den‚ which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood‚ and have their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move‚ and can only see before them‚ being prevented by the chains from turning round their heads.

    In "Allegory of the Cave" Plato describes a cave in which people are born and are deceived by puppeteers who cast shadows using fires above and behind those in the cave. They are chained down so they cannot move nor turn their heads towards the exit of the cave where a true reality exists. To them‚ this is the true reality. They know of no other and will not accept it unless they were forced to meet it. The 1999 film titled The Matrix is very similar to Plato’s cave. Billions upon billions of people
