Question: Is Plato's cave is the same as a national culture!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I wouldn't say "culture," I would say Plato's concept was closer to political regime!. The cave, or the regime, limits and shapes our moral horizons!. Each regime believes its way of life is moral but is it really!? Plato's answer is only by reason, meaning getting out of the cave, could we see the truth!. In essence, we could look via reason at the design of nature to see the truly moral!.

By the way, the multiculturalists deny that Plato's concept can be done!. All we can do is hop from cave to cave to see the differences and hence understand all morality is relative!. Plato held that one find the morally true by using reason but multiculturalism holds there is no moral truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Plato's cave is about rationality!. I am not sure how they are the same!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
