Document Summary
Where plato"s students met and discussed philosophical issues. Leadership is important and if it"s organized the lower levels of society will also have a happier life. Philosopher kings (trained to be wise, just, virtuous as well as gymnastics and music) People see shadows and think that that is all there is to the world. Break away from the chains and travel out into the world. Person is obligated to go back and share his knowledge with the others and be mocked for it. His eyes cannot see the shadows as well and they are not as important. Leave their happiness for a better society. There is more to life than just what people can see. The real world is a world of ideas where perfect exemplars of the imperfect things of this world are present. Humans should try to gain access the best they can to that perfect world by reason. Things that keep you from getting there.
