Next, describe the setting and plot of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” For this assignment, we will refer to the prisoner who leaves the cave as “the philosopher.” Then add a transition sentence that credits Kotler’s book (by his full author name and title) and introduces the perspective of extreme sports athletes. End with your introduction paragraph with a 1 sentence thesis statement that is specific, concise, clear, and arguable. Thesis (one sentence) Thesis Question: Pick 2 Platonic arguments (from the Allegory of the Cave in The Republic) from the following list. Do you think Kotler’s extreme sport athletes would support and / or reject your two chosen Plato claims? To avoid misreading Plato’s more complex ideas, please limit yourself to choosing two ideas from this list and avoid going outside it. When discussing these ideas in your Essay 2, restate them in your own words. Do not quote from this prompt. List of Plato’s ideas for your thesis: We cannot trust our senses to give us reliable truths about the world because information we get from our senses will always deceive us. We can only trust our intellect when making important decisions. It is painful to challenge yourself to leave the world you know, but what you gain from the experience is worth it because you will discover the ultimate meaning in life. The greatest good in any person’s life is to become a philosopher who strives to educate his intellect in order to discover universal truths. Society needs trailblazers who are willing to risk the discomfort of exploring the unknown because those trailblazers will return to lead and teach others in society. Possible 3 thesis types: A thesis where you argue the athletes might support one Plato idea but reject another one. A thesis where you argue the athletes support both Plato ideas A thesis where you argue the athletes reject both Plato ideas.
