柏拉图“洞喻观”的认识论逻辑及其对西方传统思维方式的影响
Epistemological Logic in Plato’s “Cave Metaphor” Theory and Its Influence on Western Traditional Thought

柏拉图在《理想国》中提出的“洞穴之喻”是他所做的一个思想实验，具有丰富的哲学意蕴。这一隐喻旨在以寓言的形式揭示核心逻辑，塑造了“囚徒困境–初步觉醒–真理探寻–哲人使命”的认识路径，对西方传统思维在认识论逻辑及政治哲学方面产生了深远影响。这一思想揭示了人类通过“灵魂转向”冲破感官经验束缚而直面真理的道理，强调了真理的客观性和超越性，奠定了西方哲学追求超越性真理的思维范式。
In The Republic, Plato’s “Metaphor of the Cave” serves as a thought experiment imbued with rich philosophical implications. This metaphor employs a fable-like structure to reveal its core logic, constructing a cognitive pathway of “prisoners’ predicament—initial awakening—quest for truth—philosopher’s mission”. It has profoundly influenced Western traditional thought in terms of epistemological logic and political philosophy. The allegory illustrates how humanity, through a “turn of the soul”, breaks free from the constraints of sensory experience to confront truth directly. By emphasizing the objectivity and transcendence of truth, it established the Western philosophical paradigm of pursuing transcendent truth.
