What's More

1.Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.


2. This story shows us that people have a very limited perspective of the world. The men inside the
cave did not know anything else since they had never been exposed to the outside world before. For
them, reality existed only there. However, one of the them had the chance to explore the world
outside of that cave and realized how little they actually knew.

It is hard to convince people who do not acknowledge that there are things they do not know. The
free man was correct, but the others mocked him instead. They refused to even consider it since
they were already used to their way of life. On top of that, he could no longer see the dark cave in
the same way. Once you gain knowledge, people who do not understand will be hard to convince.

3. This passage has shown me that we should focus on doing the right thing no matter what. Even
though other people will not always believe you, it is our responsibility to seek truth, justice,
goodness, and beauty. After all, it expands our horizons and our possibilities. The story has also
shown me that we should not keep ourselves trapped in our own echo chambers and always look
beyond what we know.
Activity: Empiricists vs. Rationalists

Empiricists:

 Senses come first before innate ideas.


 Usage of induction.
 Uses sense experience.

Rationalists:

 Innate ideas surface first before senses.


 Usage of deduction.
 Uses reason

Similarities:
 Rationalism and empiricism share some similarities, specifically the use of skepticism, which
is a doubt that the other ideas are true, to invoke a pattern of thought that will lead to
knowledge or the truth of the nature of reality.
 Both use innate ideas despite prioritization.

What Can I Do

Before you start telling the truth, there are a few examples of opening sentences that you can use.
Next you need to understand that the target in conveying facts is to convince someone else. So,
when you want to convey the truth, you must include evidence that can corroborate the truth you
convey. The facts you quote will lead your interlocutor into the topic you raise. There are several
techniques you can use. Gale Carnegie describes it with the principle of “DEFEATS”, namely:
