The problem of the “one and many” appears in Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. Describe this problem with
your own examples. Next describe the significance of the problem of the “One and Many”. In other words
what do we lose in the process of equating a One to a Many and what do we gain? Next state what is
ultimately the One, or First principle apparent in the visible world and what that One represents in the
intellectual realm. Finally, do you agree with Plato’s analysis of the One and Many, and the meaning behind
it? If so why? Or why not?
