人如何走出洞穴,找到生命中的'光'——试论柏拉图《理想国》的洞穴理论之喻

摘要

柏拉图在《理想国》第七卷专门讲到了洞穴理论.笔者认为洞穴理论谈到了人生的意义在于认清世界的真相,找到生命的"光".本文从柏拉图《理想国》洞穴理论的蕴涵、束缚我们生活在"洞穴"中的枷锁和如何走出洞穴,找到生命中的"光"三个方面进行阐述,让人们在当今社会能更好地理解洞穴之喻,更好地把握"善"这一核心,走出洞穴,找到生命中的"光".%The allegory of the cave is proposed in Book VII of Plato'sthe Republic. The author thinks that it symbolizes the significance of human life, which is to perceive the truth of the world and to find the light of life. Stating from the connotation of the allegory of the cave, the chain that tie the man in the cave and the way to come out of the cave to find the light of life, the paper aims to further explain the meaning of the allegory of the cave, so that the man can better learn to be kind and come out of the cave to find the light of life.
