About Plato (more than one answer)
a philosopher from Ancient Greece who lived

(Socrates -> Plato -> Aristole)
Wrote a wide range of subjects : the
nature of reality, knowledge, morality, society and
politics
Famous for his theory of empiricism
Desmonstration of "allegory of the cave"
Plato's definition of what it means to be a philosopher
Hints at his own philosophical theory - the Forms theory
The Prisoners of "Plato’s Allegory of the Cave" ( Literal -> Philosophical Meaning according to Plato)
only see puppets and shadows on the wall -> our experience of the material world
perceiving the shadows + learn the patterns and how they behave -> our perception and think what is real
ignorance and fear that stops us from seeing the way things truly are
Freedom from the Cave - Plato’s Allegory of the Cave (Literal -> Philosophical Meaning according to Plato)
The "told" truth about the puppets & objects -> the accepted truth with no question of us
He thinks the shadows
are more real than the objects that caused them -> prefer the familiar and are afraid of the
unfamiliar
When he sees the real world, his eyes hurt & gradually adjust -> After a while our mind realises the truth: the objects
in the cave or just imperfect replicas of reality
Philosophical Meaning - Theory of Forms: Reality is composed of the Forms and these can only
be known through reason which brings light on the
truth (represented by the sun)
Return to the Cave
After return to the cave, he feels compassion for those who are in the cave -> the role of philosophers: compassionate and share what they have learnt to others
The prisoners was mad and do not believe him -> But people are hostile unless shown for
themselves. This requires questioning and
