RE: Philosophy 101: How to Read Plato?
I very well remember the day when we had Plato's allegory of the cave in our school philosophy class. Anyone else remember reading him as a young kid?

hi @siberg. the third photo in my post is a depiction to the allegory of the cave found in book VII of the Republic. A real beautiful imagery crafted by Plato to convey his ontology, that our world is a mere shadow compared to the ideal world of forms. That's why, to me, the Republic really is a work of art! Thanks for spending time to read.
