Plato's cave Tang Yong Sheng 1103341

Plato's Cave is a symbol for the contrasts between ideas and what we perceive as reality.
Plato's cave , we just sit there and can't moving our head and watching in front.
All we can see just some shadow make by fire. So we need to use our imagination.
We live in a world of shadows, where we don't see the reality of ideas.
However , it is possible to climb out of the cave to be released from our shackles, but the process is painful, when we climb from he cave means we start perceive and understand the real ideas. we will wee the world how it should be. Wee see that ideas are eternal and perfect,even though the physical world crumbles.

All in all, The Plato's main concept of the cave is people see reality as the visible world when reality really is more than the visible world.
