Please give the arguments for each claim; you may use a concrete example to illustrate the arguments, but be sure to state the arguments (by giving reasons or evidence for each Philosopher’s analytical/particular or allegorical/universal conclusion).First Essay’s guiding questions – Using the readings in our Text (in relation to Socrates’ search for truth), and Plato’s theories of (innate) knowledge, describe how people may be living ‘as chained prisoners in a cave’ and which steps, based on Plato’s model of the ‘Divided Line,’ will be necessary for their enlightenment? What two relationships exist between a ‘Form’ and some visible things (objects) that ‘participate’ in it? What is the distinction Plato draws between ‘science’ and ‘dialectic’ (Philosophy), and how does this relates to the distinction between the ‘intelligible Realm’ and ‘Visible Realm’ – Knowledge and Opinion (please give textual references)? How the ‘Soul’ is separate from the ‘Body?’ What is the argument that purports to show that the ‘Starting Point’ – the rightmost point on the Divided Line – is the Form of the ‘Good’ (Goodness)?
In an (non-polemic) essay, explain the notion of Essence in relation to Plato’s ideology (as an Ideal – Form) and its relation to the Idea of Good. If Plato is attempting to account for the world as we experience it, then what is his methods of inquiry (Epistemology) and justification?
