Document Summary
Socrates and how he was censored people were not open to understanding the new way of thinking. Approach subjects he wanted to discuss, giving birth to ideas. What plato wrote about socrates is what we have. Aristotle bought new controversial ideas into world. Allegory of the cave = one of the prisoners escapes and comes back to cave to let prisoners know there is another world out there leads to aggression (because new ideas that threaten the way they think) Idea of ha(cid:448)i(cid:374)g priso(cid:374)er (cid:449)ho (cid:272)o(cid:373)es (cid:271)a(cid:272)k (cid:894)(cid:449)ho is(cid:374)"t (cid:272)hai(cid:374)ed a(cid:374)(cid:455) lo(cid:374)ger a(cid:374)d see(cid:374) the (cid:449)orld(cid:895) metaphor for the philosopher. Myth (story that has no time) which is rooted in a historical phenomenon (socrates death) not rescinding fact that it is rooted in death, talks to us like the present. Allegory of cave talks to us just as it talked to the people of 4th century.
