Explain Plato’s allegory of the cave (33)
Plato believed that the world is divided into ‘reality’ and ‘appearances’. ...
To make clear his theory of the forms Plato used the now well know Analogy of the Cave:
There is a cave, and at the bottom of the cave are some prisoners who are kept chained up facing a wall. ... The world inside the cave represents the appearances and ignorance that we have as humans.
One day one of the prisoners gets released out of the cave. ... This real world outside the cave is what Plato would call the Realm of the Perfect Forms- the place where all perfect forms exist.
