Plato’s Cave Allegory
Platos Allegory of the Cave is a very thoughtful account that proves to be a metaphor for enlightenment. It begins with Plato describing a scene where prisoners are in an underground cave. ...
The fire in the cave represents the power of the sun and the fire has the power to illuminate the perceived truths of the cave. ... With the man having achieved the ultimate goal he is unable to return back to his former life knowing what is on the outside of the cave. ...
After reading Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, one can only agree with Socrates when he states “…the power and capacity of learning exists in the soul already…” (Plato 282).
