(1 other version)The Contents of the Cave.J. R. S. Wilson - 1976 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy, Supplementary Volume 2:117-127.details ‘The similes of the Sun, Line, and Cave in the Republic remain a reproach to Platonic scholarship because there is no agreement about them, though they are meant to illustrate.’ So wrote A.S. Ferguson in 1934, and so he could write to-day. Four decades have produced at least twenty more substantial contributions to the debate, but no agreement.

EikaΣia and πiΣtiΣ in Plato's Cave Allegory.Corinne Praus Sze - 1977 - Classical Quarterly 27 (01):127-.details This allegory is among the most well-traversed passages in Plato's dialogues and deservedly so. Its emotional impact is undeniable, yet it confronts the reader with several problems of interpretation.

Dianoia & Plato’s Divided Line.Damien Storey - 2022 - Phronesis 67 (3):253-308.details This paper takes a detailed look at the Republic’s Divided Line analogy and considers how we should respond to its most contentious implication: that pistis and dianoia have the same degree of ‘clarity’ (σαφήνεια). It argues that we must take this implication at face value and that doing so allows us to better understand both the analogy and the nature of dianoia. Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
