"For if the soul existed before birth, and in coming to life and being born can be born only from death and dying, must she not after death continue to exist, since she has to be born again?"]]> 2021-10-21 22:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834820352 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834832293 Plato often wrote about how the soul and the body are two separate things that come together for a period of time.  "When the soul and the body are united, then nature orders the soul to rule and govern, and the body to obey and serve."]]> 2021-10-21 22:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834832293 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834838489 Plato describes the soul as an invisible entity. ]]> 2021-10-21 22:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834838489 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834844044 "That soul, I say, herself invisible, departs to the invisible world to the divine and immortal and rational: thither arriving, she lives in bliss and is released from the error and folly of men, their fears and wild passions and all other human ills, and forever dwells, as they say of the initiated, in company with the gods."]]> 2021-10-21 23:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834844044 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834854318 "But the soul which has been polluted, and is impure at the time of her departure, and is the companion and servant of the body always, and is in love with and fascinated by the body and by the desires and pleasures of the body, until she is led to believe that the truth only exists in a bodily form, which a man may touch and see and taste and use for the purposes of his lusts. The soul, I mean, accustomed to hate and fear and avoid the intellectual principle, which to the bodily eye is dark and invisible, and can be attained only by philosophy. Do you suppose that such a soul as this will depart pure and unalloyed?"

"And the same may be said of the immortal: if the immortal is also imperishable, the soul when attacked by death cannot perish; for the preceding argument shows that the soul will not admit of death, or ever be dead, any more than three or the odd number will admit of the even, or fire or the heat in the fire, of the cold."]]> 2021-10-21 23:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834887783 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834893733  "beyond question the soul is immortal and imperishable, and our souls will truly exist in another world."]]> 2021-10-21 23:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834893733 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834898805 In Plato's Cave allegory, he emphasizes how important it is to not believe everything that is seen and heard. Only accounting for empirical evidence will surely lead to misunderstanding, so people must look to philosophers in order to understand concepts beyond. ]]> 2021-10-21 23:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834898805 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834915195 Plato believed that death is the separation of the soul from the body. "And is this anything but the separation of soul and body? And being dead is the attainment of this separation; when the soul exists in herself, and is parted from the body and the body is parted from the soul? That is death? Exactly: that and nothing else, he replied."]]> 2021-10-21 23:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1834915195 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835406667 Throughout his work, Plato asserted the importance of philosophy and understanding the deeper meanings of the soul. He urged the people to learn and live one's life without dependence on material objects.  "For wars are occasioned by the love of money, and money has to be acquired for the sake and in the service of the body; and in consequence of all these things the time which ought to be given to philosophy is lost."]]> 2021-10-22 03:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835406667 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835414905 Plato argued that if death was permanent, then all things would be dead and nothing would be alive. "if all things which partook of life were to die, and after they were dead remained in the form of death, and did not come to life again, all would at last die, and nothing would be alive."]]> 2021-10-22 03:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835414905 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835427375 Plato wrote in his Cave Allegory that when the prisoner is dragged from the cave for the first time, he would be blinded by the sun and not able to see clearly. Plato is suggesting that the truth is blinding ant first and cannot been seen clearly.  "And when he got into the sunlight, wouldn't his eyes be filled with the glare, and wouldn't he thus be unable to see any of the things that are now revealed to him as the unhidden?"]]> 2021-10-22 04:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835427375 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835438285 The prisoner in the Cave Allegory who escaped is a representation of philosophers who have left the darkness and seen the truth. They have been enlightened and seen the sun while the other prisoners have not. ]]> 2021-10-22 04:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835438285 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835449150 Plato writes that when the escaped prisoner returns to the cave to share his new knowledge with the other prisoners, they do not trust him, and in their fear, they kill him. 
"SOCRATES: And if they can get hold of this person who takes it in hand to free them from their chains and to lead them up, and if they could kill him, will they not actually kill him?
GLAUCON: They certainly will."

The shadows represent the things in life that we can see, hear, and touch. However, according to Plato, these things are not the whole truth. ]]> 2021-10-22 04:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835456938 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835468790 Plato argues that ghosts are simply souls who were evil in life an are compelled to wander the earth and are unable to go to the place that souls reside after death. "and these must be the souls, not of the good, but of the evil, who are compelled to wander about such places in payment of the penalty of their former evil way of life; and they continue to wander until the desire which haunts them is satisfied and they are imprisoned in another body. And they may be supposed to be fixed in the same natures which they had in their former life."]]> 2021-10-22 04:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835468790 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835476140 Plato writes that the soul may be reborn into other animals and people. However, the soul of a true philosopher is able to travel beyond this world. "But he who is a philosopher or lover of learning, and is entirely pure at departing, is alone permitted to reach the gods."]]> 2021-10-22 04:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835476140 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835495202 The prisoners in Plato's Cave represent the majority of people. ]]> 2021-10-22 04:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835495202 thehannahhunterr https://padlet.com/thehannahhunterr/nbfpd8zz9xcfzypj/wish/1835500580 "Seeing then that the immortal is indestructible, must not the soul, if she is immortal, be also imperishable?"
