	Clan of the Cave Beer
		The second "vintage" of cave beer-300 cases of Hennepin and 180 of Ommegang (their eponymous abbey-style ale)-has been moved to another spot in what Feinberg describes as a "cul de sac." While the Hennepin was again released for Christmas in 2001, the Ommegang will be kept an additional year in the caves.
		The question remains whether the atmosphere of a cave cannot be effectively duplicated in the brewery in temperature-controlled tanks--or in the case of bottles, room storage.
		In Plato's Parable of the Cave, mankind is seen as cut off from true knowledge, huddled in his grotto, and experiencing enlightenment only when he emerges from the cavern.

	Plato's Allegory of the Cave! - The Bulldog News - BulldogNews.net
		Like all parables and allegories, the richness of its teachings lies not in the literal details of the story, but, rather, in the larger philosophical questions implied by the details.
		Just as the parable of the boy who cried wolf, for example, is not really meant to teach the mechanics of sheep herding or wolf tracking, but, instead, is a compelling allegory because it teaches us about issues such as honesty and human needs, so it is with Plato's allegory of the cave.
		She/he tells the cave dwellers that they are in shackles, that those shadows they have been watching all their lives (and which their parents watched before them) are just images created by movements they have never seen.

		An Analysis of The Allegory of the Cave The Allegory of the Cave is Plato's explanation of the education of the soul toward enlightenment.
		If he were living today, Plato might replace his rather awkward cave metaphor with a movie theater, with the projector replacing the fire, the film replacing the objects which cast shadows, the shadows on the cave wall with the projected movie on the screen, and the echo with the loudspeakers behind the screen.
		Plato's parable greatly symbolizes man's struggle to reach the light and the suffering of those left behind who are forced to sit in the dark and stare at shadows on a wall.

		One of the best visualizations of this journey is found in Plato's parable of the cave, in which the prisoner of appearances is led (almost dragged) through the phases of recognition and learning.
		At first he is chained inside the cave, immobile, staring at a wall on which he sees mere shadows of objects passing between him and the fire situated at the back of the chamber.
		The parable of the cave is a perfect allegory for Plato's teaching of truth as an absolute; in his interpretation, the shadows represent the belief of the uneducated, ignorant masses who will blindly accept whatever they hear.

	sciforums.com - Allegory of the cave+quote
		In the famous parable of the cave, representing mankind in a dark cave, plato shows that the dwellers of the den can see only the shadows of puppets, which are themselves only imitations of really living things.
		I have often heard the cave analogy used as a argument supporting fanaticism or transcendentalism: that fanatic is actually the one that sees the puppets and not the shadow.
		Fanatics are like the prisoners of the cave in that they do not see the possiblity of a world beyond their beliefs (or senses in the case of the cavedwellers).

	Plato's "The Cave" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Plato's "The Cave" in Today's World Though written over 2000 years ago, Plato's analysis of the truth, expressed in his parable, "The Cave" is still accurate in today's world.
		In this parable, Plato tells of a group of people who know only the shadows they see.
		However, if one tries hard enough they may be able to rid themselves of such beliefs, and be able to exit the sentient realm of the cave that Plato wrote about so many years ago and follow the path towards truth and happiness.

		Plato, in the parable of the cave, suggests that the human condition is like the situation of men who have spent their lives in a cave chained in such a way that they can see only the dark wall in front of them.
		Suppose, further, that someone were to drag this man out of the cave into the full light of the sun and there, for the first time, he saw living men and actual horses.
		Plato's cave is a parable for all ages because it tells us that it has always been difficult to separate shadow from substance, blind prejudice from reasoned conviction, data from meaning, folly from wisdom.

		Following his presentation of the Cave image, Socrates draws, in the space of less than one page, a few parallels between the contents of the Cave and the Sun image, and then notes that those who manage to escape from the Cave are unwilling to concern themselves with human dealings.
		The Cave image is preceded by the images of the Sun and Divided Line, the former having arisen in the context of a discussion of knowledge vs. opinion concerning the Good.
		Upon leaving the Cave, disorientation is due to the newness of the situation, but upon returning to it, the problem is not lack of familiarity, but that a transformation of vision has occurred, such that the cave is no longer intelligible.

		On Plato's Parable of the Cave and the Theaetetus
		The Essence of Truth must count as one of Heidegger's most important works, for nowhere else does he give a comparably thorough explanation of what is arguably the most fundamental and abiding theme of his entire philosophy, namely the difference between truth as the "unhiddenness of beings" and truth as the "correctness of propositions".
		Part One of the course provides a detailed analysis of Plato's allegory of the cave in the Republic, while Part Two gives a detailed exegesis and interpretation of a central section of Plato's Theaetetus, and is essential for the full understanding of his later well-known essay Plato's Doctrine of Truth.

		Between the cave opening and the fire various people pass by, carrying all sorts of things such as vessels and statues and even figures of animals carved of wood.

		Then the moon and stars, and finally the sun itself are seen by those who once only knew of the shadows cast upon the walls of their cave.

		Lest you decide to stop reading at this point, let me point out that the philosophical starting point for this book is Plato’s parable of the cave (thus the title), not some pseudo-hip postmodernist deconstructionist mumbo jumbo.
		Even the academic bywaters of logical positivism and existentialism are bypassed, although Saramago may be familiar with the literary byproducts of the latter movement.
		But Saramago’s style, both in The Cave and in Blindness, is to extend sentences almost indefiinitely by using commas where you would normally expect to find periods.

		In any case, the parable is about the distinction between appearance and reality.
		We're so happy to have shed our cave and emerged into the light, like Plato's prisoners, that we decided to have a party for everyone else.

		If one of them were freed, and allowed to emerge into the daylight, he would see things as they are, and realize how limited his vision was in the cave.

		The model and the foundation for O'Meara's dissenting thesis is the sequel to Plato's parable of the cave, in which the philosopher, having struggled up to the vision of the Forms, accepts the duty of returning to put his insight at the service of other mortals.
		No faithful Platonist could ignore this passage, any more than he could deny the role of the four political virtues -- justice, temperance, courage and wisdom -- in the shaping the philosophic character.
		This is O'Meara's theme in the second part of his book, and he shows that Plato's readers neglected little that he had thought of, though they aimed at a great deal less than he attempted.
