The allegories of the Sun

 

 

 

 

 

What are the allegories of the Sun, the Divided Line, and the Cave? How does Socrates use the allegories to explain the role of the Guardians? What is the Form of the Good? How is the search for the form of the good different than other forms of knowledge? What is the obligation of the Philosopher King to the people still in the metaphorical cave? Do you find these allegories to be compelling?
