Human Justice In Plato's Allegory Of The Cave

Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”

Many individuals question human nature and how our society is created to find justice. “Allegory of the Cave” written by Plato, a Greek philosopher, was a dialogue between Glaucon and Socrates. In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, depicts the idea that some people are seeing the truth to be “aching. People were born to be told things, which naturally believed is hard to know what is true. They are unable to see the reality and when told the truth, it would be hard for people to accept it any other way. As a result, people would exceed its limits to find the truth. Some may say this allegory, is the reflection of our world today .There are many representations that can be shown how this can be applied to how we
