    I am obsessed with the allegory of the cave. It frightened me at first but then i came to see it as something for humanity to look forward to. Breaking through barriers of knowledge and coming to understand ourselves and the world around us on a deeper level.

    Maybe the greatest philosopher in history, no doubt the rest of history could be considered a plus to his philosophy. Indeed he who knows Plato, has already achieved the truth of existence. Not that others like Aristotle had not said the truth, but that Plato is the one who said it best.

      If I were to place one above him it would be Confucius, this is speaking in terms of the scale of their influence. As for greatest philosopher, he is certainly hard to beat, but each will come to their own conclusion on that matter, for me the greatest is Spinoza (just my personal bias haha). Thank you for taking the time to listen to the video!

      Hmm, they are all wonderful, easy reading and full of a passion. You may find much in them that is tailored to the common people of that day so some parts may seem obscure, but this is a normal feeling when following along in his dialogues. I always recommend beginning with The Republic as it encapsulates so much of his thought. It is with great reason that Emerson bestowed upon it these words which Omar gave only to the Quran; "Burn the libraries, for their value is in this book." Best of luck friend!

    Wonderful discussion of Plato. The only point of disagreement I have with Benjamin is his preference for the Waterfield translation of the Republic. I much prefer that of H. D. P. Lee. If Ben ever comes to Melbourne (my hometown) I will show him why. He might then agree with me. Just finished re-reading Symposium. What a work. What insight into the human condition. Developed a great sympathy for Alcibiades.

    " Plato is simply a record-keeper - he has not a single idea of his own! He is a devoted lover of Socrates, and whatever Socrates says, he goes on recording it, writing it. Socrates has not written anything - just as no great master has ever written anything. And Plato is certainly a great writer; perhaps Socrates may not have been able to write so beautifully. Plato has made Socrates’ teachings as beautiful as possible, but he himself is no one. Now the same work can be done by a tape recorder. And Aristotle is merely an intellectual, with no understanding of being, or even a desire to search for it. These people are taught in the universities. I was constantly in a fight with my professors. When they started teaching Plato, I said, “This is absolute nonsense, because Plato has nothing to say of his own. It is better to teach about Socrates. Plato can be referred to - he has compiled it all. But Socrates’ name has become almost a fiction, and Plato has become the reality”
    Plato’s allegory is of slaves who, working in a cave, see only their shadows on the walls and believe that what is happening on the walls is the only reality. They don’t know of any other reality except those shadows… they don’t even know that those shadows are their own. They know nothing about the outside world, outside their cave; it doesn’t exist for them. This is one of the most beautiful allegories - of tremendous importance. It is our allegory. Translated into our life, it means we are living in a certain cave and we are seeing shadows on a certain screen and we know nothing else about the screen. We know nothing about there being a world beyond the screen; we know nothing about these shadows on the screen, even that they are our own. Looked at rightly, it is the allegory of our mind.
    What do you know of the world? Just a small skull is your cave; and just the screen of your mind… and the things which you call thoughts, emotions, sentiments, feelings, are all shadows - they don’t have any substance in them. And you get angry, you get depressed, you are in anguish - because you have learned to be identified with those shadows. You are projecting them; they are your own shadows. It is your own anger that is projected on the screen of the mind. And then it becomes a vicious circle: that anger makes you more angry, more anger projects more anger, and so on and so forth. And
    we go on living our whole life without ever thinking that there is a world of reality beyond the mind, on the outside, and there is also a world of reality beyond all these sentiments, feelings, emotions - beyond your ego. That is your awareness.
    The whole art of meditation is to bring you out of the cave so that you can become aware that you are not those shadows but that you are a watcher. And the moment you become a watcher, a miracle happens: those shadows start disappearing. They feed on your identity; if you feel identified with them, then they are there. The more you identify with them, the more nourished they are.
    When you are just a watcher - just seeing, not judging, not condemning - slowly, slowly those shadows disappear, because now they don’t have any food. And then there is such a tremendous clarity, perceptivity, that you can see the world beyond - the world of sunrise and the world of clouds and the world of the stars; that is your outside. And you can become aware of your inside, which is far more mysterious.
    The outside world is so beautiful, but the inside world is a thousand fold more beautiful.
    Once you are somehow capable of getting out of the cave you become part of a universal consciousness.
    Inside, you have the whole eternity; you have been here forever and you will be here forever. Death has never happened and cannot happen. And outside there is a tremendously beautiful existence. And now to call them `outside’ and `inside’ is not right; those are the old words when the skull was dividing them in two. Now it is one. Your consciousness and the beauty of a sunset and the beauty of a starry night, your consciousness and the freshness of a rose - they are no longer separate because the principle of separation is no longer there. It is all one cosmic whole. And I call this experience the only holy experience.
    To experience the whole is the only holy experience. It has nothing to do with churches, temples, synagogues; it has something to do with you coming out, slipping out of the clutches of the mind. And it is not difficult, it is just that you have not tried it.
    Plato’s allegory rightly depicts the situation which we are in. But Plato never went further than that. Plato himself was never a meditator; the allegory remained a philosophical idea. If he had interpreted this allegory and had given it a turn towards meditation, the whole Western mind would have been different. This allegory would have changed the whole Western mind and the history that followed Plato - because Plato is the founder of the whole Western mind.
    Socrates never wrote anything; he was Plato’s master. Whatever we have about Socrates is from Plato’s notes of him talking with others - the famous Socratic dialogues. As a student he was just taking notes on them. Those notes have survived. In those notes is this allegory. It is difficult to know for what purpose Socrates was using the allegory, but it is certain that Plato misused it - he was not a man who was in search of truth, he was a man who wanted to think about truth. But to search for truth is one thing and to think about truth is totally different: thinking keeps you within the cave. It is only non-thinking that can take you out of the cave."

Yet, the core idea of the Politeia is not a political manual on how to build a good state, which most people do believe, but an epistemological inquiry of "what is justice and what is good" through the act of building a state. That's all - and I agree that Plato's principles are valid to this day, but I don't want to open up a commentary way in case you disagree. I wasted a big portion of my life on that.

    Fascinating. No matter what you do when it comes to dealing with mankind, they are unpredictable. We do not fight against flesh and blood . We fight against the wicked forces of spiritual evil. Of course Jesus didn't come until later. But Plato was correct almost. Yes we need a God and we need to obey Him. But this God has to be the true God. I wonder what Plato would say about Jesus Christ and His message. I'd say he'd recognize His genius rather quickly, but could he understand He is God.

    I do not want to be a hero or a villain. l am not trying to be a good person or a bad
    person. l am exactly the kind of person l need to be in any given situation. lf l'm good
    or bad in that situation is not for me to say but for an outside observer. If 100 people
    observe me in that situation they will create 100 different ideas about how good or
    bad a person l am. None of their observations change the reality of who l am.

    You can't be pro Republic and anti democratic... The foundational principles of a Republic is that the power lies in the hands of the people... How would you propose correlating the collective will of the people without some form of democratic process?... Rhetorical question you can't! Well put together video, other than the right wing political undertow.

      There are many who believe that, I might say that Aristotle had a greater intellect, but Plato takes the cake in creativity. The age old battle between art and science! But this will always remain subjective. Cheers for watching the video friend.

    All men were NOT created equal; that was not possible. get over it. Define what is different, or sit down. Believe nothing, find out for yourself. Transform and Transcend Ambiguity and Chaos.
    Ambiguity is undetermined. Anxiety is ambiguous. Anxiety is undetermined anger, hurt, fear or pity.
    Ambiguity is threaded with Anxiety. Ambiguity is essential for growth. Chaos is essential for change.
    Created antagonists don't change. These results don't belong on the resume of a supreme being, Carlin. heh
