Assignment: Plato's Cave And The Apology
Before writing the paper you should read Plato's Cave, The Apology, and view our class film. Also, search the Web to see many versions of the Cave.
1. Identify and describe the four main parts of Plato's Cave. Show how each part has relevance to your life. Be very specific about places, dates, and people.
2. What are the three most important themes in Plato's account of the interior of the Cave? Please identify and describe with quotations from the text. Finally, show how each of these themes is relevant to life today.
3. Find at least four drawings of the Cave-not counting the ones we did in class which are masterpieces and have few faults. Identify three aspects of Plato's Cave as described in Republic VII that are seldom if ever included in the drawings that one sees. Why do you think these aspects are omitted?
5. Draw a scene from the Life of Socrates as we have studied it so far in this class. Here is what someone else a while back submitted.
