And you may also wonder how his story of the cave written at about 380 BC connects with the violence aimed at Rodney King in 1991. What I will be getting at in our talk is that idea that there is a philosophical framework in place, suggested in Plato's Republic that allows for bias against those different from us. So, here is the "Hint of the Day": Try to suss out from Plato's dialogue what may provide the grounding for today's problems with accepting others different from ourselves.
