The Allegory of the Cave from Plato is a must-read for any study of philosophy or of Ancient Greece. This excerpt from Plato's Republic has been designed to read easily, in Socratic Method format, spaced out for students to tell one voice from the other. Questions refer to specific sections of the text, helping the students to analyze Plato's words. Background is also provided above the text (i.e. the death of Socrates and its effect on Plato's writing).
