Remarkable fable on the importance of education shining a bright light through the darkness of our minds.
What is also telling is that Plato had already known that education should be inculcated as play into the lives of children and not something that’s forced down their throat . What’s is even more remarkable is that he brings up the importance of educating women alongside men.

A must read for every year .

Obviously since it’s a philosophy book it is not for the faint of heart, but those those with an adequate understanding and interest in the mind, it’s an addictive read. I’m a junior in High School, if that’s any good point of reference for you!

I could hardly understand it. Thank you YouTube for giving me a nice visual analysis of this so I could actually understand what it was saying. How do I brush up on this type of language? :(

5 estrelas das mais capazes...

Que genialidade... A edição que tenho ainda não está disponível no Goodreads. É da Guerra e Paz, e conta com uma apresentação escrita por Manuel S. Fonseca. Após a introdução, tem então a "Alegoria do Sol", o "Símile da Linha Dividida", que servem de preparação para a própria "Alegoria da Caverna", que é a última parte do livro.

Muito bom, mas muito complexo. Quando realmente começamos a juntar as peças do puzzle, com as associações que precisam de ser feitas, tudo faz sentido...

I much prefer this one to Euthyphro.
