Plato
Plato's Allegory of the Cave is what many believe to be the foundation of Western Philosophy. It addresses what is visible and invisible, seen and observed versus intuited and imagined, and what is public versus private and just versus unjust. It also concerns the meaning and importance of education, the state of the soul, the conflict between truth and beauty, animal urges versus higher aspirations, knowledge versus ignorance, and on and on.
With this audiobook, you will hear the original Allegory of the Cave and much more in less than 60 minutes. To improve your understanding of Plato's allegory, we have included original commentary surrounding this subject. This information is intended to give you a fuller understanding of the allegory.
Fewer people than you may think have read or even heard of the Allegory of the Cave. Fewer still have read or heard of Plato's The Republic. If you're seeking to boost your performance in school, or if you're just curious, this audio program will put you ahead of the class!

A story that delineates the concept of thought.

Although I am a fan of philosophy, I am not a big fan of this narrator. He does not enunciate, pronouncing "Washington" as "Washnun" and when he read "world" I thought he said "oral". Furthermore, he pronounces Plato's brother's name (Glaucon) as if it's a French name. And while we may not know precisely the pronunciation of "Glaucon", I'm fairly certain it shouldn't sound as though it's French. Perhaps, if you're reading this review, you think I'm being petty; but if you're reading a book that you have paid for, you might expect the reader to be professional when it comes to pronunciation and enunciation. Deaver Brown, the reader, sounds as though he might be better suited to sports announcing. I don't wish to be insulting, he has impressive academic and business credentials. I just believe he is probably better suited to his "day job".
That being said, if you are a fan of philosophy, you will likely enjoy this short read. If nothing else, it has caused me to want to read the rest of "The Republic"; however, I believe I will use my eyes for that project, not my ears.
Reader needs to develop enunciation skills.

Can't argue with the 2800 year old classic content though.
Can't argue with content - only presentation

If you could sum up Allegory of the Cave in three words, what would they be?
Great thoughts on realityWho would you have cast as narrator instead of Deaver Brown?
LolAny additional comments?
I see a lot of complaints about the narrator so be warned - don't listen for the narration, listen for the story.Performance is meh, but the story is still there.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrator is not very engaging, but the allegory pulls its own weight. If you like the allegory as much as I do, than you can deal with the narration.Left me with a desire for more.
