O Mito da Caverna Platão

Synopsis: The allegory of the cave dramatizes the asceticism of knowledge, complementing the divided line scheme. Describes a prisoner contemplating deep in a cave, the simulacra of reflexes without that- he can see are carried in front of a firework. As always saw these projections artifacts, take them for reality and remains deluded. The situation dismantles up and reverses since the prisoner is released, acknowledges the mistake that remained, discovers the "staging" which until then had tricked him and, after climb the ramp leading out of the cave, can out there begin to contemplate the true reality. Gradually he, who had been accustomed to shadow, will can look at the real world: first through reflexos- as the starry sky reflected on the surface of tranquilas- waters, and finally be able to directly look at the sun, source of all light and all reality.
