has spent considerable time since Plato told the allegory of the cave to explain the state of humanity and the role of philosophy in society. But reading it today is very obvious to imagine today's society still sharing the cave with the prisoners in Plato's metaphor. Maybe fire is not causing the illusion, but television and the ideal of social status that influences the mercantilist idealism.
Men in their ignorance are bound by the chains of the cave, with the weight of custom and the force of prejudice. Have been forced to keep their heads still and only see the shadows. Does this not happen in our society? We are invaded by a lot of information 
competition encourages us to achieve greater social achievement and is manifested in consumerism and progress, struggling to live with the neighbor to be the best. We no longer live watching over each other but each other. Many feel in the air power of a black hand to acting and manipulating keep it that way ... maybe they are right, some chains are interested in maintaining and further fuel the illusion generating meaningless progress, but also share them as puppeteers function of the shadows in the cave ... we live in a hedonistic culture that appears to believe unconsciously in immortality, we know of death, but no one believed in his own death, evading live satisfying the senses without looking beyond just letting ourselves be guided by the illusion of shadows.

Our society due to illusion, to be tied to the sensible world great calamities committed against himself and lives thinking the world is a great site which every man must conquer an expansive effort by encompass everything without understanding anything, obsessed with having everything in his power and under its parameters as a cancer within the body, and damage is evident. Are the most damaging animal and annihilating the planet, it destroys everything in our way and believe that everything is at our disposal for the feast of life, over-exploiting nature and the animals subjected to extermination speciesist. We behave as ignorant and violent to only see the shadows of the cave.
in today's life market devours us and the love of money competes with the love of our fellow ourselves and the real values, because they love what sells. It's amazing how a valuable role as money call seizes all our energy and work as slaves to him. This undoubtedly is because they are tied to strings.
The Cave of prisoners represents the dark side, symbolizes ignorance and obscurantism, is common sense and a view supported by our prejudices and beliefs. In Plato's time, science was a tool to get rid of chains and learn more about the sensible world as a springboard to reach the insensitive world beyond matter. Today science can not become the great tool that should be in the search further, shapes their knowledge and guide their studies through a paradigm that nurtures and shapes for itself, progress and forming their own tools. Science has also fallen into the cave. Empirical experimentation, preferred method of science, is guided by what the senses perceive, the shadows, only a fragment of reality, leaving aside the insensitive world that only the soul can reach. It is therefore very important to the vision the man who has freed himself from the chains, the philosopher, about the real importance and effectiveness of science.
So we blinded by our expertise in the drama of the human condition, that of the immediate experiences without knowing authentic. Ignorance like a disease whose cure is difficult, but you can heal. The man can free himself from chains, the man who began his liberation must begin by looking at the shadows, then reflections, then the objects, then observe the sky and the sun (ascending dialectic) the sensible world of shadows and objects to the world of ideas, because only the soul can get to heaven and absolute knowledge.
Men and women alike are prisoners in the cave. For a long time the woman has been broken by force customs undermined by a social role that sleeps his soul, simplifying the home caregiver, possession of men, etc.. In general displaced minor roles. Women seeking of usually opt to change it only by a more important role, looking through the power of the greatest extent possible, with suitable means to measure, and is becoming a coveted sexual fantasy (stereotype dangerously fashionable in youth), or "femme fatale" has the highest privilege, and all is forgiven by her charm and sensuality. In a world of male dominance where the compliments you met manly models will always be beneficial. Some women more endowed with intelligence, seek success through their intellectual status and professions met with "well regarded" social but still maintained in the cave, blinded by the echoes and reflections of the shadows. Obviously not all women live dormant in the shadows, many already know the sunlight and are in aid plan with his brothers prisoners. But the large cultural importance of their role, holds the strings at an early age to all its kind, holding and release more difficult.
In the latter period has changed, and the woman has managed to break the mold social which had been subjected for a long time. Women's strength has emerged around the globe, gaining ground in all social, recovering a place which has always corresponded , hand of the man, balancing, commanding universal consciousness of God, spreading the light and the idea of \u200b\u200beither the whole existence transcendental vibration. Plato "The Republic " speaks of the importance of treating women equally with men, educating them in the same way, to preparing for war in the same way as men, including shows capable of governing this state perfectionist of the republic of Plato.
Some spiritual currents and guides the spirit, say a large energy conversion that happens every long ages of humanity. Now is about to occur, bringing a change evolution of our spiritual consciousness and this time will be the turn of women to guide this great change. Maybe women have better luck in guiding humanity out of the cave, perhaps his mother and his mighty power shaper gift of life, managed to reach the soul of all his brothers, who could be his children, and free from illusion of the shadows. If the man has dominated this long was strongly emphasizing the power of the body, perhaps the female dualism could highlight the side of bringing soul world of ideas.
The release of the illusion passes on the way to doubt, question and more chains out there of the cave, the light. The man when it comes out, is overwhelmed by the light, blinded and may prefer to return to the cave, but if he can see light and no doubt good and will work in bliss, you have the idea of \u200b\u200bgood, sovereign power and producing well you know whoever be wise.
The role of the free man is to assist in the path of liberation from the chains of the men who are prisoners, encourage the hard way using the questioning, the paradox, for go against the opinion of common sense. Men in their ignorance destabilizes, helping them become aware of the role of their trials, to philosophize is to leave the assembly of reality through reflection reaches the beginning of things that must be filled with spirit. Then the liberated must descend to the cave to help their peers to give up their illusions. It will cost you to get used to the darkness, the power of the shadows, will be seen by prisoners in a judgmental, they may even act violently, as it is a madman who has been damaged by light, that his eyes were ready for us light. This story seems to repeat in humanity and the most symbolic reference is Jesus Christ who says: "Love one another as I have loved you." I tried apiedrar and then crucified for not being prepared to accept the truth that we are all one.
The knowledge of the philosopher is seen as subversive by the society and customs. Philosophy is an activity of questioning and has nothing to do with knowledge is more developed and a critical attitude on our thinking. know, embrace the new and wonder in front of it. Recognizing the mistakes the philosopher knows his limits and ask for the world, winning and sanity. philosophy is not a restricted elite, all as humans can achieve this philosophy and is achieved by maintaining a questioning view of reality, a critical spirit that transcends common sense.
at this time to get rid of ignorance we must fight against the major impediment of modern man, laziness. inertia that keeps us in the role of the shadows. Our chains of custom and inherited beliefs since birth by the society we cling to the illusion, and we blur the vision without achieving the strength to break free from captivity. So men are kept busy in passing pleasures and vices and death away from clinging to their egos projected future exist which are immortal.
Man to be released may see the sun and beyond the image of the sun but the sun itself. As the giver of life created the world and the seasons, a truth beyond the mere image of the sun. When the man understood the idea of \u200b\u200bgood, as the sun's rays feed on all living beings always wisely intuit the upper path towards the evolution of his being, natural state that seeks the spirit, as chalice energy God present in every atom in the universe. The liberated man will find his true identity, the receiver being achieved through consciousness, all absolute infinite existence.
El papel del real buscador de sensatez a través de la filosofía, es guiar a sus hermanos y en la actualidad cuestionar el papel de la ciencia y el progreso, buscando la verdad de la real ciencia como puente hacia la evolución de la humanidad. Sin dejarnos caer en la ilusión, alejándonos de los males del alma que inducen el mal del mundo. Cuestionando la cotidianidad de la sociedad, la gente puede despertar del estado de automatización que nos hace robotizar el alma con la fuerza de las costumbres. Mediante el despertar el hombre puede alcanzar su don divino de la creatividad, percibiendo desde otra dimensión la realidad, la replantea in new, rebuilt the reality, thus demonstrating the power and importance of the observer on the existence towards death. A culture guiding teacher of the soul to the world of ideas, may be the real formula to free many prisoners found in the cave in the modern era. That may be the great moral challenge to all who have sensed the good by the rays of the sun.
