Q

Summary of plato’s cave meaning

A

In Plato’s ‘‘Allegory of the Cave,’’ Plato gives a metaphor about people being chained and unable to look beyond the shadows being cast on the wall from behind them. Being unable to move, they think the shadows are reality. This is because they have never experienced anything beyond the shadows.
