Plato’s Allegory of the Cave In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato described symbolically the predicament in which mankind finds itself and proposes a way of salvation. The Allegory presents, in brief form, most of Plato's major philosophical assumptions:

Plato’s Philosophy The world revealed by our senses is not the real world but only a poor copy of it, and that the real world can only be apprehended intellectually;

Plato’s Philosophy Knowledge cannot be transferred from teacher to student, but rather that education consists in directing student's minds toward what is real and important and allowing them to apprehend it for themselves;

Plato’s Philosophy Faith that the universe ultimately is good; Enlightened individuals have an obligation to the rest of society; A good society must be one in which the truly wise (the Philosopher-King) are the rulers.
