Ever heard of Plato's Cave? If you haven't well, this philosophical dude called Plato came up with an analogy that basically said that what humanity thought was reality was really shaddows on a cave wall that they were trapped in. Eventually one of the trapped broke free and staggered into the light of the real world, out of the cave. The closest modern example to this has to be 'The Matrix', which, apart from being a great film, is based upon Plato's Cave. With me so far?
So, I have decided that after doing to whole years of proper philosophy with Ms Kelly, I am now enlightened enough to have broken free of the cave - making me a Plato's cave Alumni. Now I have at least one more year of philosophy and ethics left, so I intend to post all of my philosophical essays here to intrigue you and hopefully start a few debates going. Happy thinking!
