Plato's Cave

We learned about idealism and materialism by reenacting the story of Plato's cave.



We had been watching pictures on the wall, which is all life is anyways, when Edie got herself free from her comforter and went upstairs, where she was blinded by the light.  But after a while she could see clearly and could see real images of things that we only saw the shadows of.  When she came back down to tell us we didn't believe her.  But then Nick explained that the images on the wall was analagous to our life, and the things Edie saw upstairs were the real world, the forms that make all of life.  It is all very confusing, so we went back to watching Vi Hart videos.
