Plato's Cave Parable vs. SPIRAL DYNAMICS

[Nicachi]

While I was researching about a bunch of stuff for my exams I noticed how

Platos "Cave Parable" shows a lot of similarities to the "Spiral Dynamics" model from Christopher Cowan. And I also think the "Cave Parable" is really similar to the monomyth "Hero's Journey".

 

Parallels from Cave Parable and Spiral Dynamics:

-discribing development levels to enlightenment

-showing that everybody needs to go through every stage to find the Truth and get enlightened 

-Not only individuell phenomenon but a whole cultural 'Issue'

 

Parallel from the "Cave Parable" and the "Hero's Journey" 

-after enlightenment (cave parable)/ and returning from the journey trying to share the things that you learned 

(...) 

 

So I could go on and on but I'd like to hear some of your ideas about this:

Do you see the similarities/connection between those models?  Or maybe also some differences?  If so, feel free to share your ideas with me

 

Much love Chichi <3
