Abstract:

Abstract The Allegory of the Cave (Pl. Resp. 514a1–520e2) is often analyzed in terms of metaphysical, epistemological, political, and psychic hierarchies that are clarified and reinforced by philosophical education. But the Allegory also contains an important historical allusion to the silver mining that took place in classical Attica. Examining the Cave in light of the enslaved miners around Lavrio leads us to reconsider the philosophical ‘liberation’ (λύσιν … τῶν δεσμῶν, 515c4) at the Allegory’s heart in the context of Athenian slavery and Plato’s thoughts on the practice.

Abstract:

In the cave allegory, Plato illustrates his theory of ideas by showing that the world man senses and tries to understand, actually only is a dim representation of the real world. We know the allegory for its light and shadow; however, there is also sound and echo in the cave. In this article, I discuss whether the narrative of the prisoners in the cave is in tune with an audial experience and whether an allegory led by sound corresponds to the one led by sight. I start with a phenomenological analysis of the cave as a place of sound. After that, I elaborate on the training of attentive listeni

Abstract:

Plato’s allegory of the cave is a seminal image that can be interpreted in creative ways. Its assumption that the slaves in the cave can free themselves from the oppression, control, and deception of the cave by going out into the reality of the outside world opens the question of how to achieve such self-liberation in the educational setting. The allegory is intended to point out that human beings live mentally immature until they reach perfection in the contemplation of eternal and true ideas. Emphasizing this kind of perfection, however, may leave out an essential component of human liberat

This paper put forward a mystical reading of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave by comparing it with some allegories from Sufi literature, Islamic mystical tradition. The paper holds that the determining parts of the allegory, such as escaping the cave as the world of shadows, seeing the sun/truth and becoming a philosopher, and the necessity of returning to the cave, have significant similarities to what Sufis have said about their mystical experience and spiritual enlightenment.

Abstract:

In "Allegory of The Cave" from Plato Aristocles' book The Republic, Plato presents a dialogue between Glaucon and Socrates, which discusses proper pedagogy through a cave metaphor. The cave metaphor is a scenario that involves the actions of few prisoners trapped in a cave; they "are very much like us humans" [1]. In the allegory, there are symbolic elements like shadows and sunlight. By interpreting these elements in the rest of the essay, it explores the implication of the cave metaphor to modern education: a gradual pedagogy should be preferred above sudden exposure to higher-level knowledg

AbstractThis essay aims to shed new light on the stages of moral enlightenment in the Allegory of the Cave, of which there are three. I focus on the two stages within the cave, represented by eikasia and pistis, and provide a phenomenological description of these two mental states. The second part of the essay argues that there is a structural parallelism between the Allegory of the Cave and the ending of the Republic. The parallelism can be convincingly demonstrated by a purely formal analysis, but additionally it complements and reinforces the original interpretation of the Cave, insofar as

Abstract Geoscientists and engineers are part of a system that produces changes to the world we live in. As machines are expected to gradually replace humans in various technical tasks (e.g., data collection and data characterisation), it becomes crucial to apply critical thinking and to question the foundations of commonly accepted practices. The challenge is to accept that empirical methods are shaped by cognitive biases, which result from our mind interpreting data by a process of data simplification. Indeed, it is possible to draw an analogy between rock engineering methods and Plato’s All

<strong>Abstract</strong> The following paper attempts to show and take into account in basic terms the unity and direction of the movement of education as presented in Plato’s <em>Republic</em>. We show that education, according to Plato, essentially involves a claim to knowledge in the sense of understanding what is valid regardless of space and time and acting on the basis of norming oneself by this understanding. Then, namely, in the sense of this distinction, an educated person is one who is able to distinguish the important and the unimportant in his knowledge and in his life.

In this article I argue that Plato's allegory of the cave dramatizes democracy's dependency on slavery. Plato's cave forces the theatre, the political space of ancient Greek representation, to confront its material dependency upon a space from which it is otherwise visually and territorially separated: the mines where intensive use was made of slave labor. As many have argued, the most salient aspects of Plato's allegory of the cave are the complete absence of lexis (speech) and praxis (action), the evacuation of the acoustic and the distortion of the visual.

Contemporary VR challenges this stratification, bringing forth constructed realities that overlap, enhance, or even replace tangible experiences. Drawing upon a plethora of scholarly articles, this essay examines VR's metaphysical dimensions, juxtaposing ancient philosophical delineations of rea

Abstract:

Abstract The idea that mythos and logos are incompatible, and that truth is a product of scientific and dialectical thinking, was certainly disproven by later Platonic philosophers. Deploying the works of Hesiod and Homer, Homeric Hymns and other such literature, they considered myth a valuable and significant augment to philosophical discourse. Plato’s denigration of myth gave his followers an incentive to read myth as allegory. The Stoics and first-century philosophers such as Philo, treated allegory as a legitimate interpretive strategy. The Middle Platonists incorporated myth, for example,

Abstract:

Modernity comes with inherent disquiet that can arguably be contained at the material level. But at mental-spiritual levels, where it is an existential threat, this disquiet is harder to overcome. This essay begins with a brief delineation of spiritual quietude – as that which draws mounting unity from receding multiplicity and growing ineffability. At the highest level, a pristine ineffability implies absence of multiplicity, with the ineffable One, the originary-origin of pure silence. Hence, quietude grows, the higher we ascend towards the One – and recedes, the lower we descend into the wo

Abstract:

This article retrieves ancient and modern perspectives on the status and role of myth in education by revisiting Plato’s critique of myth in the light of recent scholarship and spotlighting Plato’s so-called “allegory of the cave,” particularly the latter’s (in)famous interpretation by Martin Heidegger. Reviving the question of myth in the philosophy of education through engaging Plato and Heidegger’s mythical elements, the paper provides a more extensive background to recent deliberations on mytho-poetic curriculum theory and the hermeneutics of education.

Abstract:

The allegory of the Cave in Republic 514a–18d is one of the most memorable Platonic images. The depiction of chained humans in a cavernous dwelling looking at shadows of objects cast on a parapet in front of them but unable to locate the objects themselves until one of them is freed, turns around to see the objects, and finally leaves the cave has haunted and inspired readers throughout the centuries. The prisoners are said to be ‘like us’ (515a), which is taken to refer either to human life in general or to human life in corrupt political environments. Plato's core metaphysical and epistemolo

Abstract:

Mathematician and philosopher Charles Howard Hinton posited a plausible correlation between higher-dimensional spaces, also referred to as ‘hyperspaces’, and the allegorical concept articulated by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato in his work, Republic, known as the ‘Cave.’ In Plato’s allegory, individuals find themselves situated in an underground ‘Cave’, constrained by chains on their legs and neck, perceiving shadows and sound reflections from the ‘real’ world cast on the ‘Cave’ wall as their immediate reality. Hinton extended the interpretation of these ‘shadows’ through the induction me

Abstract:

The text is a reflection on the notion of ἀλήθεια in the context of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. We do so based on Heidegger’s conception of the “four stages of the event of truth”. To do so, it will be necessary to develop an understanding of ἀλήθεια as “uncovering” (Unverborgenheit). Each stage expresses a specific way of being from which man deals with what is shown and revealed to him. What is shown and revealed, in turn, can only happen thanks to ἰδέα, which is the principle of luminosity and, therefore, is what allows man to see. The vision or contemplation of ideas is only given, howev

Abstract:

This paper examines the degree of control humans have over their beliefs and their moral responsibility. The allegory of the cave from Plato's Ideal State is cited to illustrate how external factors can influence an individual's belief formation. In addition, reference is made to David Hume and Immanuel Kant's view that people's knowledge and cognitive structures also influence their beliefs. Finally, it is concluded that people lack the free will to shape their beliefs independently due to external factors and therefore should not be held responsible for them.
