Section 13 Group 2

Sorry for the delay! I have class till 9 at night and then have an hour commute home so I figure most of my posts will be the next morning, hopefully this isn't a huge problem for anyone...
In our group on Tuesday we discussed Plato.  We all came to a conclusion the Plato seemed to be quite arrogant and had some very radical views.  The first thing we discussed was his "Republic" idea.  It was his image of a perfect society, where philosophers would rule and be kings.  As a group we discussed why this would not work, especially in modern day times.  We also spent some time on Plato's "Cave Theory".  The idea of breaking free.  We definitely found this to be his best work or idea.  Though his theory of forms that goes along with the cave theory idea was a little more confusing, but was clarified later in class discussion. On Thursday we will discuss Plato so hopefully everybody can get some more information from the links on the blog!

    There's a link at the top of the page with a wee bit of info about Plato. It's called Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, "Yuk."
