Escaping Plato's Cave

      Explain the perceptual shackles that are put on the prisoners in Plato's text. Use several quotes to clarify your point. What do you think Plato was referring to at this time before the common era? Find a contemporary figure from your generation or your parents' generation and explain how they have shed light on a significant truth. How has their telling of truth changed modern perception? Draw several connections between the pursuit of truth in Plato's text and the actions of your chosen contemporary figure. Use quotes from Plato and contextual research to support your argument.
