Plato and His Ideas Socrates: A Quick View The Allegory of the Cave Plato’s Analogy of the Divided Line

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates’ Ideas: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Keys to this examination: Know thyself! Relentlessly pursue TRUTH, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

The Death of Socrates

Straight from Socrates . . . How do we know what we claim to know? How do we know when something is TRUE? Is TRUTH always true? What is JUSTICE? What is WISDOM?

Plato’s Analogy of the Divided Line

https://youtu.be/zE7PKRjrid4 What You See . . . https://youtu.be/zE7PKRjrid4

Points for Discussion and Analysis How does Plato’s Myth of the Cave align with his Allegory of the Divided Line? What elements of the Cave correspond to the Divided Line? Plato believed that true reality lay outside of the world of perception. What complication does this present when defining reality? Is the TRUTH of reality knowable? Why or why not? Due Wednesday, write a brief analysis for either question #1 or #2. Be sure to explain your ideas with enough detail and examples to make your thoughts clear and easily understandable. Please post to Google Classroom.
