Plato's View on Life

There are a lot of questions about the prospects of life and the philosophy of life in his book "Plato of the Republic" in Plato. One of the hardest topics he is touching is the definition of justice. He tried to explain to his friends how better people should behave, it is more fair or unfair, but the answer becomes very complex, and Plato makes this quite complicated theme more detailed I studied. He destroyed three general definitions of justice he suggested, which means that justice "repays debt," "helping friends, hurting enemies", "any benefit to a stronger one" To do.

Finally, it may be the most permanent image of the whole Republic, but as a representation of Plato's life and worldview it is a fable allegory (or similar). This occurs in Book 7 (514), where he discusses the Sixth Book setting the level of knowledge and reality in the discussion of philosophy and the nature of good. (On the right side, the dividing line is black and the element of the cave fables is red.) Plato says that we are all like prisoners on the cave floor. We are limited, we can only see in one direction, so we see the shadow on the wall talking and moving. We observe and discuss our fellow prisoners and remember the role and statement of these shadows. But what happens if we happen to be released from our chain? We got up and looked around and saw a flame burning behind the cave. But there are more. The cave has an exit leading to the ground

The cave fable is an extended metaphor that provides insight into Plato's educational outlook. People in the cave portray us as society, and Plato suggests we are a prisoner in the cave just by shadows of things. However, the cave also represents the state of mankind, and we all begin with a cave. According to Ronald Nash, Plato believes Plato will use the cave to symbolize the physical world; things are not always the same world, there are more worlds people think. The outside world is expressed as thought, thought, and reality world - throughout the world of thought Plato is talking about unimportant forms, and these nonphysical forms represent higher, more accurate reality . In other words, "According to Plato, our senses only pursue the reality of shadows, shapes, or ideas of reality.This kind of reality is accurately identified only by rational feelings, not physical emotions it can".

Plato is known for its own perspective on objective reality. Roughly speaking, the greatest reality is not the ordinary thing that we feel about us, but what he calls shapes and ideas. (Although Greek Plato uses a term similar to the word "idea", it is not an idea that exists only as an idea, as expressed by the word "idea" of the present day, so it is referred to as a form According to Plato's view, the purpose of our sensory experience is real, but its form is "higher reality." With the greatest reality, they are the only one It can be said that it is a truly objective reality of.
