What we call reality is actually a mere shadow play on the wall‚ projected from behind our backs by persons carrying statues of humans and animals and carved likenesses of other ordinary objects before a fire that is behind them." (Rice‚ pp. 79) This allegory is attempting to simplify the ideas of forms and the reality of what is perceived as real.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave World History Honors In reading the philosophical works of Allegory of the Cave by Plato‚ I have come to the conclusion that he is trying to inform about education.
