Reality‚ Truth‚ and Understanding The Allegory of the Cave by Plato questions truth‚ reality‚ and demonstrates how we are similar to the prisoners within the cave.

In the story Plato states that the prisoners came to know reality as nothing more as “the shadows of those

the Cave Summary Plato’s Allegory of the Cave presents an enthralling concept that holds strong to this day.
