    misconceptions of the world. Bacon takes a more logical and scientific approach in philosophy using results and data to determine the truth behind “how we know what we know” and how not to be deceived by our mind’s own capability.

    however is that humans are unconscious‚ in machines that keep their bodies alive while their brains are all connected to the matrix which is simulating real life. The perception is completely false. Similarly‚ in the cave allegory the prisoners’ perception of objects passing the cave wall in the form of shadows is false.

    ‘Explain what Plato meant by the Form of the Good’ (25) Plato believed in two worlds‚ the material world and the world of the Forms. The Forms differ from material objects because they are perfect and pure; while material objects are a complex mixture of imperfect properties of the Forms.

As well as being individual forms‚ things like truth‚ beauty‚ justice and equality also reflect the Form of Goodness. ‘Goodness’ is a quality

    Metaphysics: Plato and Buddhism Plato used an idea called the cave allegory to show how humans are ignorant. Before I explain a real life example‚ I will explain the Idea. In the cave there are prisoners. These prisoners cannot move because they are restrained by chains. The only thing that they can see is a wall that illuminated by a great light.
