Plato.
Directions.
Read through The Allegory quickly. Don't try to understand every detail.
Next time around, pay closer attention to the detail and carefully
answer the questions below. You will notice that the last section (note the
line break on page 231) is a bit harder and more abstract. Try to only
get the general idea, the rest we'll discuss in class. Make sure to
read carefully the instructions from the main webpage regarding the homework
parameters (font size, page length, etc.).
Assignment.
1. Describe the cave.
2. Describe what lies outside the cave.
3. Keeping in mind the last section (after the line break on page 231),
have you ever experienced a time in your life like the man who escaped and
returned to the cave?
