Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" symbolizes the journey from ignorance to enlightenment. It portrays prisoners confined in a dark cave, perceiving only shadows on the wall. When one escapes, he sees the real world and gains knowledge. This allegory illustrates Plato's belief in the existence of a higher reality and the transformative power of philosophical enlightenment.

I didn’t know that it says that the prisoner escapes?? I thought it said at one point it had to be forced to look towards the fire and even dragged up to the “real world “.

So old theory, but also so contemporanean.
