PPS Ethnic Studies Allegory of the Cave by Plato Phenomenology Essay

 

  1. Your assignment is to write a one-page, double-space essay giving a Phenomenological Analysis of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” (the link is posted below). Do not summarize the story (I know it already). Simply give an example from the allegory of the major argument of phenomenology, along with examples of epoche, sedimentary thinking, and variational method. Finally, express your opinion as to whether you believe the prisoner, once freed from his shackles, was obligated to descend back into the cave to attempt to free his comrades. Since his help and company were rejected, state your opinion as to whether he was better for his freedom, or worse off and should have remained in chains.Allegory of The Cave.pdf
