The superior beauty of the natural world that people too often take for granted. That people are held down by tradition (the cave) and must break free and find their own path to self-discovery and happiness (the upper world). The rare individual who looks beyond the sensory and temporal world into the realm of what is eternal and permanent, eventually gaining insight into the ultimate nature of things, the form or idea of the good. The triumph of Athenian democracy having ascended out of the dark cave of previous forms of government. Which of the following is untrue regarding the passage?

a. Plato suggests that the one who makes it outside the cave to the world above--the philosopher--should feel no duty toward those still in the cave since by descending back there for their sake they would deprive themselves of a better life.
b. Plato's view is that ultimate reality, which is represented in the allegory by the upper world, is beyond the senses and can only be apprehended intellectually.
c. Plato thinks that the capacity of learning exists in the soul already, and that genuine education resides not in transferring information from one mind to another but in pointing the whole soul in the right direction, so that one comes to know the truth for oneself.
d. Plato suggests that the state in which the rulers least wish to rule--but do so only from a sense of duty and not the desire to rule--are the best governed, and vice versa.
