Allegory of the Cave
Book • 2018
In this allegory, Plato presents a scenario where prisoners have lived their entire lives chained in a cave, facing a wall where shadows are projected.
They believe these shadows are reality.
One prisoner is freed and discovers the true nature of the world outside the cave, illustrating the stages of enlightenment and the distinction between the perceptible and logical realms.
The allegory is part of Plato's larger work, 'The Republic,' and is narrated by Socrates in a dialogue with Glaucon.
