This is not a formal essay (you do not need an intro and thesis and can use the first person.) Just be sure to answer all parts of the question.

• Write a LARGE paragraph for each question. Minimum 250 words for each short essay prompt.

Prompts:

1. Fully describe Plato's Allegory of the Cave. What is the point of this allegory? Are there other "caves" in modern life in which people might feel "imprisoned?" How might they escape?
2. Fully explain Nozick's thought experiment. What were the main points he made about human nature with regards to the Experience Machine?
3. What is a paradigm and how does it shift? Use the example of Geocentrism to Helocentrism to illustrate your definition.

Anyone can answer this one carefully!
