Hey Bog :)
One Friday we watched a video handout Plato's Allegory of the Cave. It went into depth about what it all meant. One out front he video was, "The effect of education and the lack of it on our nature." This means that education effects how humans act towards each other. There was an obvious difference between the shadows of objects and the actual objects. The person that was brought out of the cave saw this differences and was enlightened. The video said he was a "hearer to the true nature of being". The video also said that cave dwellers are what humans were before philosophy and that the sun is the light of reason, because when the cave dwellers saw the sun he understood the real world. We all start in the cave, but through education we come out of the cave. And the way out of the cave is through philosophy.
