Blog Entry 5: The Allegory of The Cave

In ''The Allegory of The Cave'' by Plato ,Plato was represents man’s condition as being chained in a cave, Plato inform us how some people would immediately be frightened and want to return to the cave. And Others would look at the sun and finally see the world as it truly. People watch shadows on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to  credited forms to these shadows. The shadows are as close as the prisoners get to  reality. Plato said that the prisoners should  take the shadows to be real  things and the echoes to be real sounds, not just reflections of reality.
