You could be discussing the philosophical implications of Jersey Shore, I'd still find your videos interesting. Please don't do this btw. Just want to express that I very much enjoy your uploads and I hope you do more!
Thanks for posting! I have an online only class and no face time with an instructor. Being able to actually see a lecture is extremely helpful when it comes to Philosophy!
I always critically look at plato from his environment of trying to grapple human experience over his interpretation of socrates and how both become this struggle between good and evil. Philosophy (academy) and traditional 5th century Athenian religious practices become this back drop. The new Democracy became this ego, who tolerated freedom of speech, but ultimately gave birth to the first ever martyr for freedom of speech.
@benjaminjean1984 Socrates was in my opinion to the analogy of the cave, the prisoner and the analogy of the cave was constructed after socrates died possibly to describe the illuminating light from the power of knowing that the only thing i know is i don't know much or anything at all. This constant pushing and pulling in societies we can still see today in gaining this light is usually by force. Essentially this new democracy is being highlighted there.
Good work. It makes you think about the possible analogies in society. The people in the shadows remind me mostly of theists but they might take this story in the total opposite way. Conspiracy theorists might also like this story. Arrogance from the supposition of having a superior idea or view is a danger of this analogy.
Interesting since Plato himself was almost certainly a theist of sorts. He believed in a reality which transcends the phisical universe and has at it's source and eternal and perfect creator and source of everything (The Good). Rather, the prisoners in the cave are materialists who only believe in the shadows and illusions of the physical word (the world of the cave) and never transcend to the eternal and non-physical reality above it.
