DAY 6 Allegory of the Cave

After creating our own "cave" in class, we had an in-depth look at Plato's famous Allegory of the Cave.  The ultimate message here is that we live our lives seeing only "shadows" of the truth, and it is not until we accept things as they are, i.e. the truth, that we exit the cave and live in the light.  There are many videos of The Cave, here's one.

We moved on to a quick look at several theories in Metaphysics, but more on that later.
