Plato’s has idealist point of view were we are living there are endless possibilities to what we actually are and anything can change at any moment. We are in this uncontrollable state where anything can happen and we just have to accept and adapt because none of us really know the truth to what we are, who we are, and what we are here for. Us as the the prisoners are chained from birth forced to look a certain way and not be able to turn our heads from the casts of illusions and appearances. But besides the fact that we have chains on our neck they are supposed to represent ignorance because we are not acknowledging the truth out there.
So us as a society trap out own selves into this mixture of apprentice and allusion. We would be able …show more content…
All the forms are connected, and are comprehended together. Personally for Plato’s time era we are living in a different cave than they were. I’m talking about social media, the funny thing was that Plato’s day and age he was mostly talking about religion and how we don't really know that religion is the truth and how so many people are thrown into this concept of something that have no evidence of that they can personally prove. Like Socrates said “ up the attempt until he grasps what good itself is, by means of through itself, then he has come to the true end goal of the intelligible, just as the man in the cave came to the true end or goal of the visible.” (Book 7, Pg 531-533. B). Plato also talks about his city (Society). In Socrates story telling in book 7 of Plato’s Republic, Socrates talking about a myriad of things that need to happen for Plato's theory to come true to find the “Truth in the society”. First, he reminds us again that our goal is not to make any one group especially happy, but rather to make the city as a whole as happy as possible. Second, he points out that the philosopher-kings are only able to enjoy the freedom above ground that they do because they were enabled by the education the city afforded them.

A virtuous person possess philosophic knowledge and that virtuous actions be based on such knowledge. philosophers differ much in the overwhelming majority of actions typically open to assessment. city governed by philosophers or a constitution and laws that are the expression of philosophic knowledge are better, more correct, or more just simply on similar perfectionist grounds. This line of thought is not totally absent from Plato: in the Republic, in order for the city to possess the virtue of wisdom, its rulers must possess knowledge (Book 7, pg 428b-429a). Since only someone who knows at least some Forms can possess knowledge (Book 8, pg 475d-480a), the rulers must know at least some Forms and thus must be philosophers. Philosophers are probably the key of society to push us to come together as a society and question what we truly know. Some position that Philosophers would be positioned in today would be roles of government. The weird thing is, is that you probably would be be the one name that you think about in government, I think each person on a council today would have to have a philosophic perspective otherwise we wouldn't be able to better our government and it would just stay the same. Philosophers might also play apart in therapies because you will need a philosophic point of view to understand that there is no truth and we will hear things
