Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” Plato wrote down many of the oral lessons (dialectical, anyone?!?!) his mentor, Socrates taught him. He, along with his predecessor and successor are known for laying the foundations of Western thought and science. Socrates Plato Aristotle Setting: Ancient Greece The story is a dialogue between Socrates, the storyteller in the narrative, and Glaucon, a Sophist (wise man). The characters are talking about the human situation in general, that is, whether the Athenian citizens are indeed as enlightened as they think they are.

Allegory: a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor Life in the Cave The Real World a comparison of… Ideas Reality Illusions Forms Outside World Shadows

Plato’s Cave

Plato’s Conclusions 1. Perception is skewed. The world revealed by our senses is not the real world but only a poor copy of it, and that the real world can only be apprehended intellectually. 2. Education’s purpose is to elevate us from false appearances (self-deception), to things as they are (reality), to things as they may ideally be (ideas). Pursuing knowledge is intended to lift us from the earthly/concrete reality to the spiritual/intellectual. "I don't talk things, sir," said Faber. "I talk the meaning of things. I sit here and know I'm alive."
