(September 18, 2012 at 3:51 pm)Darkstar Wrote: Is anyone here familiar with Plato's Allegory of the Cave? We discussed it in english class the other day, and I found it to be strikingly applicable to religion.Considering Plato basically worshiped God of the philosophers by all we can tell of the man, it iss not surprising that this book of the Republic, with the 3 analogies for his Form of the Good (God), would be appealing to religious. After all early Christianity found its closest ally in Platonic philosophy and old grumpy Nietzsche rightly calls Christianity 'platonism of the masses'.
