Plato tells an allegorical story called the Cave Myth or Allegory of the Cave in his most complex work, The Republic. The dialogue between Socrates, the main character, and Glauco, his interlocutor, aims to present the reader with the Platonic theory about the knowledge of the truth and the need for the city ruler to have access to that knowledge.

<u>The freed prisoner could do two things: return to the cave and free his companions or live his freedom. A possible consequence of the first possibility would be </u><u>the attacks that he would suffer from his companions, who would judge him as crazy</u><u>, but it could be a necessary attitude, because it is the fairest thing to do. </u>

Plato is hierarchically disposing the degrees of knowledge with this metaphor and saying that there is a way of knowing, of knowing, which is the most adequate to think of a ruler capable of doing politics with wisdom and justice.

Which action was taken by the leaders of the thirteen colonies in 1776?
soldi70 [24.7K]
The first major American opposition to British policy came in 1765 after Parliament passed the Stamp Act, a taxation measure designed to raise revenues for a standing British army in America. Under the banner of “no taxation without representation,” colonists convened the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 to vocalize their opposition to the tax. With its enactment in November, most colonists called for a boycott of British goods, and some organized attacks on customhouses and homes of tax collectors.
After months of protest in the colonies, Parliament finally voted to repeal the Stamp Act in March 1766. Most colonists continued to quietly accept British rule until Parliament’s enactment of the Tea Act in 1773, a bill designed to save the faltering British East India Company by greatly lowering its tea tax and granting it a monopoly on the American tea trade. The low tax allowed the company to undercut even tea smuggled into America by Dutch traders, and many colonists viewed the act as another example of taxation tyranny. Hope this helps!
