In one of Plato's three most famous analogies, that of the divided line, which was perfectly, quite clarified in the book The Republic. It's one of the most complex stories. Plato highlighted these patterns of truth, knowledge, and the natural world of truth along his divided line analogy. However, I believe that Plato's analogies date back more than 1900 years, but can still play an important role in today's world. Plato believes that his way of knowing, produced along the divided line, can play a significant role in creating a healthier culture and community. Plato's expression on his analogy of levels of knowledge and the nature of certainty he calls the divided line. Plato then divided this mode of awareness into four different categories. These four different categories were then separated into two. It therefore expresses the objects that characterize the different ways of knowing. Furthermore, the two groups of four were separated again. However, these objects of awareness were divided between knowledge and opinion. In all things, Plato confirms that to move to the next level a person must be truly aware of each mode of awareness. I believe this is the heart of Plato's divided line analogy. Now we can imagine that one of these prisoners has been freed. First, the prisoner sees the statues and the fire that creates shadows. However, he then believes and sees the shadows as reality and the statues and bright fire as illusions. Later, when he managed to get out of the cave, for that moment he saw the real objects. True objects mean the ideal forms, which are not visible to us. In other words, this was the juncture of the intelligible world. Furthermore, this prisoner had willingly and willingly...... middle of paper......According to what we read in Book VI of the divided line and the sovereign idea, this individual has now become the most elite person to rule the society because it now knows how to grasp its forms and only people who deserve it deserve to rule over others. So we can say that education somehow cannot be a vision into a soul; instead, it transforms the soul capable of self-reflection. Reality in a way is quite ingrained in our minds. These forms of analysis tell us that even though we can see things, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Plato revealed to us that we have three stages of growth in knowledge: thought, intelligence and faith. What would have made four, Imagining, Plato describes as the lowest of this growth.
