Aww - we built a Plato's Cave in a MUD in 1993, so it's a blast to see one now in Second Life. "Students who learn the Cave allegory can, of course, imagine how experiences in the world are like living in ignorance, usually by projecting themselves into the lives of the prisoners that Plato paints in The Republic. For example, students who read the Cave allegory might think that until they thought about their religious faith in college courses, they were comparatively uninformed or not yet really enlightened about how rich and robust that faith could be, much like Plato's characters until they climb out of the cave and see the light."
