The school founded by this antique philosopher, became a prototype of modern higher education. Contemporaries named him «the divine teacher»: in his works it was spoken about an ideal society structure and immortality of soul. Ancient Greek thinker Plato said, that «time is a moving similarity of eternity».

@ChevyChevelleSS political structure--is the worst (just below democracy). If he so vehemently opposed tyranny it seems odd to accuse him so blatantly of being THE precursor to it. But of course, I'm open to correction--Plato is one of my favorite philosophers for other reasons. I'll never forget my professor (a Plato and Rousseau scholar) defending Plato in class nonstop!

@Hapafull Haha good one...oh wait. Just what I like to do, argue over the internet. You have good points of course, but when I read Plato's work, I don't think you are correct. The Justice in 'Republic' for the common man who cannot get squelched under the tyrant, the 'Form of the Good' in which the philosopher-king knows Good. Excellent stuff. You have to remember that Plato lived under The Thirty Tyrants and his writing reflects this. He opposed tyranny. The tyrannical man--and tyranny as a

-these despots i disagree as i would compare it to medieval times when royalty told there followers they followed the word of christ and god when in many occasion they commited adultery ,murder, were greedy , unmerciful to the poor and to there enemies in war, so would it be fair to say that because they claimed to follow these rules of god, they did?, or if they didnt and men knew of there foul deeds that they would place blame on the bible because the king had claim to be inspired by it?

By: XXGDUBSXX. on 25 Jul 10, 08:13:55
@Hapafull leaders, platos idea of a philospher king where the wise rule, and this I believe is where the concept of o f him inspiring tyranny comes from but the philosopher king serves justly and Socrates said justice is the interest of the weak( again by weak i mean the common man,worker,soldier etc. not physically weak) So it would be the leaders duty to serve his people but tyrannies only serve themselves and aristocracies there immediate friends and relatives so when you say he influences -

@Hapafull men (or women) to lead us through travel, famine, war, times of wealth and golden ages but then you have generally two kinds of men that lead, Men who want to lead( for fame, power,women and wealth) and men who believe they must for fear (not in a terms of cowardice but in a context of they believe he is an unjust man) of having someon worse than them lead and of the latter it would be preferable to have a man with an open mind a man of reoson and of wisdom who would make the best -

Can any man do these things? For the most part yes bet when a man has a specific task he becomes better and more sophistocated with it making him a better doctor etc. Also our biology as apes demands us to look for leadership and guidance and this is where we need-

By: XXGDUBSXX. on 25 Jul 10, 07:46:45
@Hapafull Your interpretation of the way Plato lived made me believe that you believed he was living an unjust life, a hyprocrite that criticises a system that benefits himself( feel free correct me if that is not what you meant). Yes i see that men are shown by plato to be servents of the society and i also agree that the idea of society is a concept and not a thing to be served but i believe if he talks of these men serving the state he means it in the way of he serve's his fellow men in th-

By: Hapafull. on 25 Jul 10, 03:59:58
cont. Also, keep in mind that I'm not some Aristotle proponent who wants to bash Plato. Aristotle was far from an individual rights activist, and supported the aristocracy as a member. Also, I respect Plato and Aristotle immensely. Their contributions to philosophy and science are invaluable. It's just a shame that they lived in a matrix of oligarchies and despots. Living in a bubble tends to skew logical consistency and they often followed bias and prejudice in matters of politics.

By: Hapafull. on 25 Jul 10, 03:37:11
cont. Which begs the question: how can someone be a servant to something that is immaterial and has no will? The State will decide the will, and with 'wise men' (philosopher-kings) to decide what is good for the ignorant lower classes. What is ?good? for society will become the ethical standard, which at this point in development "society" is simply a surrogate for "State". It's ideas like these that I view as Statist and elitist to the core.

By: Hapafull. on 25 Jul 10, 03:27:37
cont. Keeping this in mind, we can now view society as an abstract concept, an aggregate notion of human interaction, and when this is the accepted view the individual is recognized as the fundamental unit. This definition may seem obvious, but you?d be surprised how often biases and prejudices can lead people to defy it; and what follows is the establishment of society as the fundamental unit. The individual is no longer viewed as the unit, but rather its servile agent.

By: Hapafull. on 25 Jul 10, 03:23:38
Nowhere did I say that he inspires men to commit evil acts. I said he was the spiritual antecedent, which metaphorically means that he shares with despots a similar set of premises that tries to justify Statism. To give one example; the idea that a "society" is something real and tangible. "Society" is not a concrete object. One doesn?t go to a party and see the group of people there as a single physical form, they simply see individual people mingling. cont.

By: XXGDUBSXX. on 24 Jul 10, 19:28:39
@Hapafull So are you claiming that tyrannies, despots, and imperialist did not exist until after platos work was written? I could also blame the crime of murder on the gun but the sword and stone have taken many lives before that. But even that would only be similiar if plato indeed does inspire men to evil which i believe he does not.

By: Hapafull. on 23 Jul 10, 10:03:36
A man's moral pontifications are often in contradiction with his actual conduct and lifestyle. Plato was a member of the privileged citizenry of the polis, the ultra-elite minority (aristocracy), who scorned trade and labor as ignoble, all the while living off of the product of slaves and commercial taxes. One of the reasons for supporting this hierarchical system was because it afforded him the leisure time to pursue his interests. He lived a life of self-gratification and pleasure (hedonist).

@Hapafull What a crock! Keep drinking that Leo Strauss cool-aid. I took as my senior seminar in philosophy Plato's 'Republic.' Wonderful book! Down with all your prior statements! Allow me to quote G.K Chesterton, whom one could denote as a Platonist..."I may, it is true, twist orthodoxy so as to partly justify a tyrant. But I can easily make up a German philosophy to justify him entirely." A hedonist? Have you ever read Republic? Gorgias?

None is the answer. Every advancement achieved in the world has come from the idea of personal advancement freedom!

Every society through history tells story's to its citizens, story's to comfort them and help make sense of the world around them. We pay a price for those story's, for we relinquish proper judgement and reason when we believe in them. We live now in a time of unparalleled scientific knowledge, yet ironically we have no strength to turn into the sun and tell the truth to all around us. Few things are certain in this world; uncertainty and consequence, for all things in nature are as one.

@ABdadaSURD Of course it can't be about Communism if communism as we know hadn't even been defined. The ideas of communism and everyone working for the better of the community has always been around since basic human life being gathered in communistic tribes. The idea of communism came long before Karl Marx, and if Plato was around today with the same way of thinking he would be called a communist. The lesson in this was a communistic message even if communism hadn't been defined yet.

@GreekSawyer It doesn't represent the life that we have in any way, it is a hypothetical situation, not a literal one.

If that's what you think that this is what the cave is about then you are the man chained and not aware of it, and deserve to be there.

females hate men because in the womb both sexes have the same starter kit up until when the penis and testicles fall away from the females due to genetic weakness which is the reason why females have "penis envy". The great genius Plato had knowledge of this phenomena ages before modern medical science confirmed it. Plato theorized that there really was nothing mysterious about females after the recognition was made that all of them fall under the category of castrated males.

An excerpt from Plato's Republic, the 'Allegory of the Cave' is a classic commentary on the human condition. It is a story of open-mindedness and the power of possibility. We have adapted and brought it to life by shooting thousands of high-resolution photographs of John Grigsby's wonderful clay animation. To learn more, visit platosallegory.com

I am currently making a report on the philosophy of education and plato's cave is another dialogue of Socrates. Here, socrates describes the state of humans prior to education and knowledge. the darkness in the cave represents ignorance. the shadows represent our failure to look behind and beyond what we see, therefore believing what we see in front of us in reality, but the truth is we only see shadows of the real things.

By: TennisAnnalyst. on 18 Jun 10, 18:37:14
@makaveli2989 Plato's meaning was rather to STOP believing in the public opinion and START understanding it; it doesn't discredit, nor hails atheism or religion. Light here is knowledge; the chains represents the arrogance of the men in believing they are wise; and darkness is the ignorance in which the common man dwells and lives by... The shadows there are the impressions and feelings which lead many to consider them reality.

@ItsumoTomodachu ...
By: TennisAnnalyst. on 18 Jun 10, 18:29:16
@ItsumoTomodachu No my friend, that wasn't his meaning and if you reduce his thoughts to this, then you have not understood anything of it. What he showed us in this allegory is the actual life of the common man; arrogant in seeing himself as wise, he cannot realize that his opinions bother about the illusions. In such a predicament, he truly is mentally chained, compelled to live by those shadows. The ascent Plato speaks about is allowed by philosophy, by the logical thought.

By: MuchAdmiredEditor. on 15 Mar 10, 19:13:13
females hate males because in the womb both sexes have the same starter kit until when it falls away from the females due to weakness which is the reason behind "penis envy" among females. The great genius Plato had knowledge of this ages before modern medical science confirmed it. Plato theorized that there was nothing mysterious about females since they all fall into the category of "castrated males".

By: AEigner. on 18 Feb 10, 16:59:20
@maidenkid84 To know if you've been in the cave, is to think back to before, and realize that you could never go back to living without the knowledge or life you have now. If you find yourself unable to explain to someone the true meaning of the experience you've gained, without showing them, then you left a 'cave'. It's a point that opens your eyes and affects you so much, you can't go back to how it was before. For humanity it's things like fire, the wheel, the atom, the internet, space travel

Could time actually link spatial dimensions? As in, the fourth dimension with the tesseract would also include views into the past, the fifth to the future. In a way, would photography be a way of humans to simulate the next dimension of time?

By: Iced1992. on 10 Aug 10, 00:13:45
@BetatestBanned We can conceptualize the idea of more dimensions, but not how existence within it (though we do exist in it, which is what makes this so confusing) would occur nor how objects or processes would exist/occur there. Should our subconscious be able to make a real conceptualization of a higher dimension with sensory equipment only suited for 3rd dimension reality, we would still only consciously be able to observe these three dimensions. Dreams don't change that, but rather show it.

@Iced1992 So we ...
By: BetatestBanned. on 09 Aug 10, 23:08:44
@Iced1992 So we are living in all the 10 dimensions, but we can't realize it. But even if we are not able to conceptualize it, we still can imagine it and make our own conceptualization of it. So if we are unconsciously aware of the 5th dimensions and how it's working, somehow, our brain may be able to create a real conceptualization of the 5th, because we live in it. I don't know if you are understanding what I am trying to say, quiet hard to talk about it.

@BetatestBanned Our ...
By: Iced1992. on 09 Aug 10, 22:40:15
@BetatestBanned Our brain, even when conscious, lacks the sensory input to derive any meaningful environmental data while sleeping. In other words: whatever physical laws there should be aren't there. This is not a higher perception but a lack of perception and conceptualization thereof. If you dream lucidly, you can adjust your dreams however you choose, but you still won't be able to conceptualize anything other than the known three dimensions. Hope that helps.

By: insidetrip101. on 17 Jul 10, 14:44:02
I feel that I have a fairly good grasp of what you are saying is the 10th dimension and it sounds good, but when I think of some of the implications I begin to break down and not understand anything. Example, an inanimate that has not changed for x time still has that string going from it, but I have changed but I'm viewing it not changing. Therefore I'm moving forward in my time, but it doesn't move at all in its and I just break down and am like wtf. there are others too but its 500 limit =)

By: Zyriden2. on 16 Jul 10, 14:19:20
I always believe that all of the choices and branches in the fifth dimension existed even in the beginning of the universe. I thought that when we made choices or things randomly happened, we were actually just having the universe travel down one of the predefined paths. This would say that none of the other paths to travel would collapse or become non-existent. I have explained your theory to many other people in some effort to spread information and intelligence. Everyone asks me about it.

When you first see the light, you think that the others will be excited to hear about it, but they usually think you are a religious nut because you act so different. It is sad how many people think that they are the enlightened ones when in fact, they are the ones in chains. Just because you are good at reading the shadows, that doesn't mean you are enlightened.

@bseball323 Returning to the cave is representive of the struggle of enlightenment over ignorance. You have to share what you learned of the light with those who have never seen it and are therefore unequipped to understand it. Breaching ignorance with radical ideas has been the focus of philosophy throughout the ages and, as in the video, is dangerous as the fear of the unknown dominates the minds of the weak.

But hey, I know this isn't your obligation, I'm not paying you to provide me with what I want; I'm grateful you sometimes do it anyway.

By: bamb04. on 03 Sep 10, 20:29:15
This one lost too much comedic value compared to your other ones, like Descartes, and just the drawings like in the old parts made them much more authentic and enjoyable. You can't even cover the basics of Plato in 3 minutes so if it's not funny either then what's the point? Just a matter of taste I guess. The last comment about "judging him" sounds like someone's got you by the balls, do you have a soft spot for him or have you just lost your arrogant confidence (as seen in the other clips)?

I myself take the theory of forms quite seriously when dealing with unifying ideas that seem to have a sort of 'deja vu' nature that links one idea to another. This is a youtube comment, so I have not proof read it, and do not really expect to be taken seriously. LOL.

To be honest I'm torn on Plato; I truly admire some of his ideals, particularly his insistance philosopher kings rather than whoever is most popular with the people (who are, quite often, not too adept at recognizing what's good for them) and, indeed, his system of education, where you are taught according to your stengths so if you're great with English and terrible with math you may focus on the former and ignore the latter, is genius.

I cry simply because in my generation there will not be another Alexander McQueen I just hope eventually the world gets 2 have another one just like him. The Fashion Industry has lost the one who pushed us and everyone to dare and evolve and create and think. Thank You ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

@LucasWiller3 I don't know if my reply was sent, but I don't remember any other info about the auction other than it was just in the "talks" stage. Also, if you really do have the money, expect to spend upwards of 50000$ cause everybody will want them, especially the fabulously rich. I say this cause when he died, sales jumped well over 1800%, so imagine those shoes that now have legendary status...

Sometimes I have a hard time when Fashion designers create clothing that cannot necessarily be "worn," but then I think fashion is art, an expression of self. who am I to try and box in a voice. Fashion is a difficult art to deal with, but I'm loving it as I get more into it.

@LucasWiller3 You can't purchase the shoes anywhere. The only ones ever made were for the runway show and select clients like Daphne Guinness. You can't get them made either cause the fabrication process is protected under copyright! Unless, if you have tens (and I mean TENS) of thousands of dollars to spend, I heard they want to auction them off for the benefit of charity...

The Cave: An Adaptation of Plato's Allegory in Clay

Global video hits: 63502

An excerpt from Plato's Republic, the 'Allegory of the Cave' is a classic commentary on the human condition. It is a story of open-mindedness and the power of possibility. Bullhead Entertainment has adapted and brought it to life by shooting thousands of high-resolution photographs of John Grigsby's wonderful stop motion animation.

Lol, I remember this last year. Used to tell the truth that most people don't try to find. In the passage, the men can't look apon objects directly, but theyre shadow, but slowly look at the direct object as if trying to find there own opinions and truths. FInally the direct truth is the sun itself. Enlightment of the world. The fire in the cave are suppose to be other peoples opinions that people believe. Like TV shows or politic infromation listened on the radio. That's what I got from it.

It's a really good way of showing Plato's idea, but it is important for all of those commenting to realise that the idea is not that of the people who made the video. The idea was thought up thousands of years ago. This video simply clarifies it in an easy-to-understand way. Kudos to the people who made the video.

By: christophmahler. on 18 Oct 09, 08:48:37
Despite it is almost a year ago, I would like to reply to Your comment. I think, the point is about 'experience'. While dogmas and doctrines may relate to the socratic image of mere 'shadows' - the metaphor is rather adressing sensual perception - and confronts it with a possible 'higher level' of experience. In the end it turns out to be the idea of the 'Good', that shines upon everything - including the 'cave'. This video asks, wether the enlightened prisoner wishes to resemble that 'sun'.
