'Plato Republic Discussion Question\r'

'In platos republic, curb VI, platos tells the story of Allegory of the cave. This story tells of what plato believes true information is. First plato tells what teaching method is not. â€Å" grooming isn’t what close to people declare it to be, namly, set knowledge into thoughts that want it, like putting sight into blind look”(518b) then plato describes what he thinks education is. â€Å"Then education is the craft concerned with doing this very thing, this turning around, and with how the soul can most easily and effectively be made to do it.It isn’t the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education takes for granted that sight is at that place but that it isn’t turned the right route or looking where it ought to look, and it tries to redirect it appropriately. ” (518d)I believe in the story, the effect on one who goes into education is that he possesses the spiritual en get outdoor(a)enment of the form of the good. Education is up to man himself and can wholly learn to a certain limit. In the sensible realm, the lowest on the list is the shadows, imagers, and reflections.In the story the prisoners can only take on the shadows and nothing else. This effects their soul because they are only limited to that and the soul has nothing to grow upon. Education is like the metaphor of the sun, being able to cod clearly and in reality. I think platos visible horizon of education is sensible to me. I understand how plato is explaining how the shadows and phantasma is like being limited and unless you hap the light you will not be successful. Once you find the light it will help you to get away from the shadows and be able to â€Å"see” more clearly.\r\n'
