Plato Republic Discussion Question

In platos republic, book VI, platos tells the boloney of Allegory of the cave. This story tells of what plato believes true culture is. First plato tells what commandment is not. Education isnt what both(prenominal) people declare it to be, namly, set knowledge into spirits that lack it, like putting sight into blind eyes(518b) then plato describes what he thinks education is. thus education is the craft concerned with doing this very thing, this turning around, and with how the soul send packing most easily and effectively be made to do it.It isnt the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education takes for granted that sight is on that point but that it isnt turned the right way or look 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 enlightenment of the form of the good. Education is up to human himself and can only learn to a certain limit. In the aware realm, the lowest on the list is the shadows, imagers, and reflections.In the story the prisoners can only confabulate the shadows and nothing else. This effects their soul because they are only limit to that and the soul has nothing to grow upon. Education is like the metaphor of the sun, being adequate to(p)-bodied to see clearly and in reality. I think platos view of education is sensible to me. I understand how plato is explaining how the shadows and darkness is like being limited and unless you realize 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 see more clearly.
