SUMMARY:The Divided Line and the Cave in Plato’s Republic
DESCRIPTION:Two famous passages in Plato’s Republic are commonly known as
  “the divided line” and “the cave”\, they are placed right next to
  each other\, one at the end of book six\, and the other at the beginning 
 of book seven. We will read and consider both and explore how each enables
  us to understand the other–how the first is primarily cognitive and the
  other primarily vivific\, and how the two together are particularly suita
 ble for cultivating the soul.  For the soul\, according to the Platonic t
 radition\, is a life-bearing and knowing being\, only able to play its ful
 lest part in the great drama of the cosmos if it combines both elements of
  its nature.\nThis event is free but donations are encouraged\, circumstan
 ces allowing. We’ll start the session at 6.30pm: tea/coffee and cake wil
 l be available just beforehand. No need to book.\n\nPlease download here a
  PDF of the extracts we’ll be using: The divided line and cave\n\nThese 
 evenings include short talks and/or readings from Platonic writings – bu
 t we hope they will be genuinely interactive\, with all participants invit
 ed to contribute to our collaborative search for truth. No previous exper
 ience of formal philosophy is required. Every effort is made to make these
  type of evenings accessible to the newcomer\, while allowing the great pr
 ofundity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and speak to us at what
 ever level our present understanding sits.\n\n
