Plato Part 2- 6th hour

Plato's Allegory of The Cave Part Two
Same as the first, just so we have more then one posting to comment on.... Feel free to switch back and forth between part one and two.
Plato's The Allegory of the Cave" has been used as metaphor throughout time. As you blog in class think about some of the following questions and major ideas listed below. This is a scored blog; however, you will not just be scored on how many times you comment, but the uniqueness, originality, and creativity that you will bring to the discussion. Do not just comment without referencing the text or your peers. Read other comments and make connections to what your other classmates are saying. IT IS OKAY TO DISAGREE just support why. Do not repeat the same ideas that are presented by your peers. Use direct quotes from the reading, make connections and think outside the box. Most importantly have fun, and hope that our first experiment with the laptops goes well.Concepts/ideas to think about

• What is truth according to Plato?
• What do the prisoners inside the cave represent?
• What is outside the cave?
• What happens to someone that leaves the cave?
• What determines truth?
• What happens when one's truth is proven wrong?
• What is reality?
• Role of our senses
• How does this tie into society today?
• What are our caves?
• Why did Plato write this?
• Is it better to stay in the cave then leave the cave?
• What is perceived of those who leave the cave?
• What does the cave look like?
• Can we connect this piece of work to Athenian government? Afterall, this was a chapter in Plato's Republic.
