present and reflect on socrates conception of the nature of education as described in the allegory of the cave
This assignment requires the following. First, you are asked to present (that is, explain/describe) Socrates’ conception of education. You should do so as though you were presenting it to someone who has never taken a course in philosophy. You are NOT asked to critically discuss his theory. (The presentation should take roughly two thirds of essay.) Second, you are asked to discuss what you find valuable or interesting in his conception of education. Some possible starting points: Does this conception of education resonate with your experience as a college student? Does it help you make better sense of what you want to accomplish as a student at FIU? Is there anything you would add or subtract from Socrates’ theory?
Paper length: 400-600 words.
